I see Saab 900 in the C-pillars and rear quarter glass. And maybe the doors.

Grill and front Maybe but the rear 1/4 glass and screen certainly isn't bc coupe the tail lights look like Fiat 850 sport coupe and thinking about it the rear screen maybe the same by the look of the strut tops out of the bonnet they didn't use the measure twice cut once method
Or maybe its a Fiat Dino body which was a bit like a 124 on steroids with a V6 ferrari dino motor

The front looks 124BC-ish, but are definitely not 124 parts.
The Fiat engine is indisputably a Very Good Thing, but for really serious power, the Volvo twin cam is better.
2.3 litres, with 2.5 being ridiculously easy - 2.7litres is not hard, and even 4 litres is possible!
They're also built like brick shethouses, with big ends nearly as big as my wrist (bigger than the Chev small block), super strong blocks, etc.
500hp from 2.5 turbocharged litres, on pump fuel is not a big deal.
Haven't heard of a Fiat doing that reliably - even Graham Smith's 131 Sports Sedan wasn't making that much grunt (with the 4-cylinder).

I was waiting for that...
The real stuff-up was that I was talking about the main bearing journals...
Big ends are larger than the 'small journal' SBC stuff, regardless.
Oh, and most Volvo production motors have forged cranks, so the wrist-sized big ends are particularly non-limp.
