Well, equipping a luxury sportscar to be a camper makes for neither a good camper nor a good luxury sportscar. I fear it and would hate to take a corner in it. Vehicle dynamics aside, there's no way you could attach a huge sail like that securely to the sheetmetal without damaging the sheetmetal when enough stress is placed on it.

Have your cake and eat it, too:
Teardrop Travel Trailers by Camp-Inn
Little Guy Teardrop Trailers | be different.
Micro-Lite Trailers

Then my quick Google came up with this:
Manufacturers | The Small Trailer Enthusiast
Page down to the teardrops and there are a ridiculous amount of small manufacturers of tiny campers. You'll be off the ground, have better insulation than a tent, you can run electricity and duct you climate control- and still have your luxury sportscar the rest of the time.
