Brazil is right!
"America" is an awfully unspecific question;  when one wants to know if something is Brazilian they would not normally ask "American?"!
Describing a person as "American" means, I would say, "from the USA" 99.999% of the time!

It was a prototype of a car which did reach limited production.

Sometimes you have to try to be a bit smart.... How about Puma ?

Could it be a Malzoni GT ? The rear window looks familiar...

It could indeed!
This is the very first Malzoni prototype.
Although it did lead to the Puma series at the time of this car there was no such thing as a Puma, so the answer to the puzzle is Malzoni.
1 point for you, and here are some more pictures:
