For 1 point what's this, based on what, by whom and for whom?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

Sorry for the late reply.
The 1st Italia GTC, used as base for the 2nd generation.
The Italia 2, the 2nd generation of the GTC is based on the newer Miata 2000 Gen2 or Miata NB.

Yes, that's what it is.
It's a drawing for the car that was to follow the appearance of the Princess de Rethy's Pininfarina Ferrari 330GTC which had the rear-end of what became the 365GT/4 2+2, but although a gentleman from Qatar ordered it on the basis of this drawing, he didn't like it when he saw it half-built and said he wanted it to look more like a Ferrari 275GTB - hence the second version as per your photo!
Well done.

Pic of the later GTC production version:
