Mongoose Motorsports Grand Touring Prototype.   From their web site:

The Mongoose Motorsports GTP is a replica car based off of the 1984-1988 Lola-built Corvette Grand Touring Prototype for the IMSA and Le Mans racing series.

Armed with the bodywork molds for the original car, Mongoose Motorsports designed a mid-engine GTP with c-5 suspension and a composite monocoque and tube frame chassis.

The Mongoose GTP can be purchased in pure kit form, ready-to-go as a “turn-key” car or steps between.

I like that they developed a business model, around the fact they own the original molds for the Corvette GTP.
