Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please tell me the name of this vehicle, what it's based on and who designed it.

Don't be naughty! Stay away from Google Search by Image, kids.

It looks like a Gordon Roadster from the Czech Republic, using a Ford 3.0 V6 engine and taking its inspiration from the pre-war Aero 30 roadster. The Company was founded in 1997 by Vladimir Friml.

This car uses the bodywork (and I suppose other elements) of the Gordon, but it's a special unit with a different name. Locked for you to find it.

Well, it's been three days and no reply from Djetset, so the puzzle is unlocked. Pros, get your point.

Oophs, I'd totally forgotten about the Lock on this one as I've been exceptionally busy for the past few days, catching-up on work after the long Christmas break. It looks like Oko's got the right answer!

Yes, oko94 got it! Sorry Djetset.
EHR 10 is short for "Electric Hot Rod 2010". The bodywork and chassis were supplied by the Auto Project Centrum, which is the company that manufactures the Gordon; the electric drive, including batteries and control unit, was assembled by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the West Bohemian University of Plzeň. The car has a 21 kW direct current electric motor and a 200 Ah LiFeYPO4 battery, with a range of 100 to 150 km.
