1994 Saturn SC2 by Custom Coach/Coaches of America

It's based on the SC2 but that's not quite what it is.
Locked for you to have another look.

Well, I have two different sources for this car, one says : "Yes, ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on the above one and only of its kind, Saturn S-series kit car. The base vehicle was a 1994 SC2. The guy pretty much transformed the car completely and you'd be hard pressed to guess, if someone didn't already tell you, just what this car was. Custom Coaches of America built the car and from what I understand, its one of a kind. Some would be thankful simply from the fact, this design is simply one you either love, or hate. That's it. No in between. I personally like it and if it wasn't for the fact it was an OBD1 vehicle, which came with the motorized seat belts, I'd have purchased this from the guy as it was for sale some years ago. I like the wide-body design of it."

and the other one : "For Sale here is a one-of-a-kind 1994 Saturn SC-2 Coupe. It is the prototype mule for the Predator from the now defunct Custom Coach of America. Custom Coach was known for aftermarket turbo-charger set-ups and was planning to expand into the kit car market with re-body kits for 1993-1996 Saturn SC-2 coupes.  The prototype body panels were designed and made over the course of a year in 2001-2002. Fiberglass molds were created, and in 2002 the prototype panels were fitted to the car. The car made it's debut at the 2002 Kit Car Nationals in Carlisle, PA. The designer was interviewed by two magazines for future artlcles. One of these articles is shown in the photos below."

The first one you quote is the site I got it from.
There was an SC-2 but this one is a modified car based on it, which is what I was looking for.
The Predator bit is news to me..!

Here are a couple more pictures:
