Is that a Bertone logo on the B pillar?
It kinda looks like a Fiat... or maybe Lotus.
It's like the Euro version of the Pontiac Fiero.

Beautiful little cars, and I mean LITTLE! Like many Italian cars of the era, if you are over about 5' 10" you can forget their sporting cars. I was looking at a De Tomaso Patera until I realized I could not physically get in. I ended up buying a Porsche 928 S4 instead, but even that had limited head room. I watched one of the Kindig-it Cars shows where they modified one to make it fit it's taller owner. They dropped the floor and I think modified the interior to get the seat further back.

Correct! The Lancia Stratos rally car. Had to be legal for the street, but it was really intended to just win the World Rally Championship, which it did. It had a Ferrari Dino V6 behind the cab, sideways. A very short car for twisty courses. Light and fast. Your feet (I've read) are pointed off to the right away from the LF wheel. Two people are a crowd.
They made noise...
BUT...there's a TRICK! That white car is a replica. Real Stratos' are sort of unattainable, so a couple of companies sprung up to build copies. This one is a Lister Bell Stratos, with an Alfa Romeo 3 liter "Busso" V6, a fantastic and WAY cheaper engine.

Ha..it’s a big brother of the first car I remember in my life, an Austin A10!
That’s was Bristol, UK circa 1964
