Default C7 picture question

I just received a picture a friend took at the Ferrari museum in Italy several years back. He wondered it I had seen this variation of C7. Can someone fill me in who did the modification. I can't make out the badge. Thanks

What is it

Yep; not attractive to me. I wonder what sort of Vette is parked next to it.

People have been trying this mod since the '70's, I don't get it.

I saw several of those cars at Bloomington Gold several years ago - interesting concept, just not to my liking, especially at the price for the conversion.

I saw it at Carlisle for the first time (I think in 17). I believe I even posted pics here. I was very polite, simply said something along the lines of “not my cup of tea”

In my humble opinion its Fugly (F%&$king ugly) but I think my 2019 GS is a thing of beauty so I'm probably biased,

Interesting, but sorry, I don't see the point. It wouldn't add that much useable space, and my C7 coupe already has plenty of room for what I need. Wife and I took a 10 day trip, had plenty of room for 2 carry-on bags, 2 duffels, cooler for snacks, 2 folding chairs, 2 jackets and misc hats and stuff. And, room to spare for our purchases along the way.
