This appears to be out of Brazil for the domestic market and not for export.  The Interlagos series were the sportier cars that Wills-Overland du Brasil produced in the old days.

This is from 2015 and was based on a design inspired by a Renault Alpine A108. The work was done in Italy and 110 were planned for production. The video is from its introduction in Bolonga.

This somewhat related link about Willys/Kaiser prototypes posted over on the OldWillys forum, as well as mention of the above Italian supercar and the Brazilian Capeta concept sports car produced shortly before the Ford buyout.
