I don't think the designers had a special car in mind:

Yes, it is an Arrow Development turnpike car from 1972 with a 7 hp Kohler engine.

Well done, two points for you.

Thanks!

Is the orange one in Europe? Did a lot of these make it over there?

No, I took the pictures from a US online auction. The car was located in Florida.
