No guesses from the Rookies.  Time for the experts to chime in.

Up!

Obviously an early Porsche 911S, but, that roofline is ALL wrong. Modified for 2 + 2 configuration? Tai llight dimensions are off too.

1969 Porsche 915, prototype by Pininfarina for a 2+2. The car still exists today and is painted limegreen ...

A point to Delorean for the complete answer.  I wasn't aware of the current paint scheme.

You're right, but there are enough tacky customers out there. In fact Porsche earns a lot money with this ugly ducking..

Here's the PF Porsche: (ungainly at any speed)

I know.  It's their best-seller.  Or is it the equally horrible Cayenne?
