Anyone else know what this is?

Abarth most probably yes. Simca no. Simca below
My guess is the PUMA styling was stolen from this body
its a Lotus.
Almost looks like the Lotus Elite Fastback as seen below, but the rear is totally off.
1960 Porsche Abarth Carrera GTL

It's an Apal, which is a coupe bodied kit from a French maker, but it used 356 gear. Pretty cool huh?

I'd think that given its ungainly proportions, the cowl-to-windshield transition 
, and that the attached pics show a stronger DNA heritage than anything posted so far, my vote is that red car is a Panhard DB (Deutsch-Bonnet).

The Kapt'ns stumped us all on that one! I still think it's ugly and that the body is an amorphous blob.
