It is the Simca Fulgur from 1958. It should have 2 rear electric motors and an inboard electronic brain with an auto pilot system that commucated with a central control tower. At high speed the electricity would be transfered from the road by induction and at speeds over 150 km/h the front wheels would retract. And so on and so on ...

Add some headlights, remove the wing, and the rear would look like the front of a Pontiac Grand Am, circa 1973
