It looks like a 2011 SLS front end with a Pagoda hardtop.

For me, the top is too small, proportionally, to the rest of the car. Makes it look like a toy / Hotwheels type car to me.

Agree Mike. The grill is classic ( but maybe too large in scale ) and would be improved by 113 euro headlights.
Overall I like.

This picture goes back 10 years as part of a german auto magazine feature which envisioned modern interpretations of beloved classic cars. I believe these have been created by their internal graphic design department.
Here is a link to their picture gallery, which includes other creations:

I personally like this design.
