I would have also guessed the Lotus Esprit, but you may be referring to the Countach.
From THIS PAGE is the following Quote:
Here's another Italian; also of wedge design:

Yes, I was imagining alternate methods of support for those structures.

The climb to the 2nd story is an arduous, yet pleasurable experience.

I'm not thinking Vector.... The fenders seem wrong.
Maybe it was a prototype photo? It is similar to the W8. (linked image)  Detail sheet HERE

Not really a sports car, more of a sledgehammer. 600-1100hp and almost 3600lbs, with two big guys that'd be 4000lbs.
But I'm sure it was really fast.

I thought of the Vector as well. Also agree that a few cars have drawn upon styling cues....however, there were many wedge shaped prototypes over the years.
When I asked the question I placed the word "car" in quotes. I was using the word loosely as it was a kit car and not a production auto. It was deliberately developed as a copy of the Carabo. BTW, Gerry Wiegart(sp) originally intended the Vector to use a 911-6 to power the car. IMO, one of the most interesting autos in recent history.
