I have not found pictures of the rear to confirm that... but it should be the Colani New RS from 1978...

It is a Colani, and I have seen it called "New RS", but I have another name for it.

Somewhere it's called "New RS Sportscar"... but maybe the name you are looking for is "Colani Ford GT80"??

In fact the puzzle car is only a mock-up, and it's the "New RS", this body was later developed inot the GT80, with a Ford engine but with a new aluminium body (the former was in plastic and with the paint and stripes)

Yes, GT 80 is the name I was looking for, but after a second look it seems that you are right in saying that the New RS was a mockup that led to the fully functional GT 80.

One point for you.
