It's Colani, but not Beetle-related.
Since you've got the builder I'll lock it for you for 12 hours to see if you can find out what it really is.

Indeed it is!
Locked for you to come up with its full correct name and to answer the rest of the questions fully.

Colani RS Turbo 1967.

That's it, yes.
You did well to get this one.
Even Googling for pics using the whole of the car's name "Colani Chevrolet Corvair RS Turbo" produces only a one-sheet leaflet for sale on ebay with the puzzle photo...

Here are some more pics:
