Anyone know this car?
Yes, it is not a Porsche - far from it.
However this community is extremely knowledgeable and someone may know this car or at lease knows where there are more photos. It is, imho, a very interesting approach to combining a relatively new style with old. I suspect a C4 corvette and/or Caddy XLR in its DNA and the tri-5 ('57, I think) fins work surprisingly well (again, imho). What I really want is a front view to see if the retro cues were also carried through to the front (grille?) of the car. Fyi, this is a photo from the October 2018 Caffeine and Octane in the Atlanta, GA area.

Creativity? It's the bastard child of a Trans Am, 57 Bel Air and a Coup DeVille ... with Vette rubber

Looks like one of Wiil I Am's abortions.
Actually, looks better than one of his abortions.

Reminds me a littel of n2a Motors - Cars - 789 Model
If you search for corvette bell air on google, you’ll find a hit for something that looks like it that’s for a body kit website and also a youtube link to a corvette with a body kits to look like a 57.

I don't know it, but if I did I'd swear I didn't.

Looks like a "Belaro" other ones I've seen are Camaro based but convertibles.
Here is some video of one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwPIVPTrG1E
