This is a highly customized version of the real car - the Karmann Ghia (1955 - 1974) as standard had no air scoop or spoiler and was promoted in a memorable TV ad as "the cheapest European sports car available", and then, as the car bounced backwards off a paper banner strung across the road, "The cheapest.
