I appears to be, but it's not. There seems to be a connection, though..

Apparently yes!

This one is obscure and I haven't got very reliable info. I know who 'designed' it and which company's parts were used to assemble this car. That's all.

No, more obscure.

Genie IS not officially involved, but involved they are in a certain way.

Yes it is! The wheels look like Bizzarrini's. Anyone with an idea about that?

I don't know where the wheels were sourced from (see photo below where the car has four matching wheels).
I believe the body is a Genie Mk 10 and the engine an unspecified V8. It was built as/or resembles a CanAm car.
That's all the information I have.
