This one is not obscure at all for a couple of reasons.
1 point for all there is to know about.

It's a Maserati 3500GT design by Michelotti?

This scale model suggests a big Grand Tourismo, but despite of its looks it apparently should have been a quite small car with a 1,2 liter 4-cyl only.
I'm not a Bugatti expert at all, but I read 1962 for the 2nd prototype in most of the sources...

Bugatti 252 Coupe by Michelotti from 1954?

Yes; a car that was never actually built but a model has appeared based on Michelotti's drawings.  Very nice it is too!

I'm amazed it's a repost.
I searched thoroughly for it and got nothing, but especially because I thought this was just a new model, not one from years ago!
Merged now and I've added my picture to the original but perhaps PJ still has the original?
