Must be british, germany wouldn't have been making sports cars in the late '40s.
Jaguar XK prototyping?
Sliding windows and yellow headlights is quite a french touch though...

It looks like it has many elements of Ferdinand Porsche's designs, but I can't guess what it is.

Considering the color, I'd say it's British... 
However, the rear hub cap says Porsche to me. |

You guys are SO close! Remember what I said earlier about the response that blew by the answer?
A process of elimination.
Don't give up now!

Is it based on a more familiar production car? Using either the chassis plus engine or just engine from something that is more commonly known? Or is it fully "built from scratch"?
If it's based on something else more commonly known, I can only think of German and Italian rear-engined sources (assuming the donor was rear-engined to begin with) out of the list of countries I had posted previously.

It is scratch built, but its looks are similar to some early Porsches; no?
Hint; hint!

The name of the car is a brand name for products in sports.
