I hope you won't mind if I answer with a quizz...  ;)

The back lights look very BMW to me, the lower part is quite reminiscent of an Alfa Romeo 164 and overall there is something from the Cadillac Allante.

Do I have at least one good idea?  :D

I can see where you're coming from with all of those ideas, but I'm afraid none of them have any relationship to what this is!

It is just a scale model or a 1:1 mock-up?
Peugeot-based?

I'd be a bit surprised if it was full-size, but I'll try to check.
Nothing to do with Peugeot.
