Ok, this is hard to believe, but the source is Tamiya!. The Bigwig is inspired by a real-life car!
The below pictures are from the famous Pikes Peak hill climb race in USA. And as usual Tamiya has looked to USA when making models, it is a fairly big market...
Take a look below.

  OK, it is not 100%, but this is what the special invited designer, Takuya Yura, was inspired by when designing the 10th anniversary RC car from Tamiya in 1986.

   
 
 

 

  Here is another one. Does not have the air intake scoop, but the same wing shaped body.

These cars drove in the Open Wheels class. Typically 2WD chassis with a beast of an V8 in the back.

   
 
 

 

  A great view from the altitudes of Pikes Peak.

The race is 12,42 miles long, and has 4708 feet elevation gain, at average 7% grade.
