Everything old is new again. In the 60s, you could get something that looked almost the same as this, we called it a Bubble Car. It was made by Messerschmitt and were properly called Kabinenroller. My big brother used to make up stories about a magical one - he'd tell me Bubble Car stories every night. At the end of every one, "Bubble Car just... disappeared." Here's a cabrio at a classic car rally.

I'm going to build something simmilar one of these days. If anyone interestedd, you could comission me to build you one. the drivetrain would be based on a motorcycle rear end at the rear, and a custom front end to match. Imagination, gravity and cash are the only limitations.
