Never heard of a GT40 lookalike utilising a beetle floorpan before! Do you have any more information on manufacturer of the kit? Also need some more pictures! I'm intrigued. I love projects like this because they are just so unique and individual to the builder. The likelihood of seeing another are slim.
FiberFab were the makers back in the 70's and 80's but they no longer produce the kit. I believe there are only 10 on the road in the UK they were more popular in Europe.
The basic shape of the GT40 is there, it was designed to be a 4 seater utilizing the Beetle chassis. I have currently done away with the back seat to conver to a two seater.

So I'd imagine that it is still rear engined then? That's rather cool if so! 
As others have said, it doesn't look entirely convincing but it's a rather nice design - the front lights could perhaps be integrated better but otherwise I like that a lot.
I expect it's probably quite light so it needs less power but how well does the 1.3 engine work with that set-up?
