Coupé is part of its name, as is 720-b.
But Bee sold the manufacturing rights on (or changed their name, not sure which) and it became the ******** 720-b ******* ******** Coupé, made by (whoever it was) of (wherever they were)!
Fill in the *s, who the manufacturer was and where they were based and you have a point (but the number of *s don't represent the number of letters in the words)!

Yes, that's it (or to be more precise the Laguna 720-b Electric Town Coupé).
Now, what was the new name of the company which made it?
