I'm not entirely sure I understand the question? This was built as an exhibition piece, yes.

Is that a 'Future Vehicle', in the idea of its author? Like a spaceship-car? Can't see the reason of a car with no windows...

I guess it has no windows, because you don't sit in the car, but on top of it.  ;)

Wendax is on the right track, the design purpose of this car is to sit on it! So that is the purpose, now what is the name of the car?

I don't have a date for this, but I believe it is later than this.

Those wheels are tiny. Is it based on a go-kart ?

I don't know the exact base car, just manufacturer, so it's possible that kart wheels were used but I cannot say with certainty I'm afraid.
