Call me crazy but those headlights look a lot like the Carrera GT.
Reminds me of the VW concept 'EcoRacer'. It was a mid engine two seater that would have used a small TDI to generate about 150hp (IIRC) and get around 72mpg. It was also pretty light, being mostly carbon fiber, so it would have been pretty quick.

A little car like this newer VW concept could do really well if it gets good fuel economy. Heck, I would be interested in one in a few years when they could be had on the used market!
