I think I may have just realised what this is via my never-ending tail light research (from an NSU TTS). It looks like a Porsche 917-inspired eigenbau made in 1981 by Matthias Hebel in Germany, using a V6 engine and Porsche gearbox.

Obscure obsessions do pay out sometimes.  ;D

The engine was a PRV V6 (Peugeot-Renault-Volvo).

There has been an article about this car recently. Its official name was M & O Hebel HH 1. It was built by Matthias Hebel and his brother Oliver. The car still exists sans engine, stored vertically as it was never permanently road legal because of the assumed costs for verifying the torsional rigidity of the tubular frame.
