I'd say that looks like a Fiat logo in the center below the window, but otherwise, I have absolutely no idea. I've never seen this car before......
Fiat Multipla. It made quite the splash upon introduction due to its polarizing looks. When I was young I rode in one in France and thought it was the coolest thing ever. lol

OK, here you go:



When I was ~8 years old I saw one of these at Road Atlanta and became enamored with it. I find it uglier than sin now.

That car had seemingly many names. Lotus Carlton, Vauxhall Lotus Carlton...and I think the same pattern as the Opel Omega.

If memory serves, "Panoz Roadster" is the literal name.

Close, but they added in a little extra to the name by the time the model I posted was built
