It looks like a doily has been dropped over an existing chassis, based on an exoskeleton kit car?

Too few cars are designed using doilies as bodywork.

You are correct that it's an update of an existing design

I'm not sure but I don't think it was based on a kit car

I correct myself, this vehicle was offered in kit form. And yes, the basis is Renault

This is a redesign of an already existing car - by the same outfit - designed primarily for circuit use

No, the redesign was of another car made by the same, small outfit. Which was itself a replica of something...

Well the ego skeleton styling leads me back to it being a replica of an aerial atom, or one of the numerous copies that exit in the British kit car marketplace?
