It's the Lola GT, predecessor to, and the basis for, the Ford GT40.

The Mecom Lola is a later version of the original Lola-Ford GT, with flared fenders to fit wider tires.
Here's a 1/32 version of the Mecom Lola:
I don't have a photo of the original Lola on hand, but it's narrower.

Seek and ye shall find;
Original Lola GT;
As modified by Mecom Racing Team;
Can't tell for sure by the photo of the clear body, but it does appear to have the flares of the Mecom car.
The original GT-40. Some similarities can be seen in the cockpit area that show the lineage from the GT.
