Its got the Gemballa widebody rear wheel arches - if you look closely in the shot that shows the front right quarter, you can see the Testarossa-esque strakes. However, its missing the same era Gemballa rear spoiler treatment (body-coloured S spoiler under an S4-style one - yes.. apparently having both looked good at some point!?!)

Drag car is anyone's guess.. does it sing "I will survive" and wear sequins?

The nose and rear facia look s4 or after 1987, doesn't look like a 1980 to me.

I was thinking more along the lines of Priscilla Queen of the Desert

Rear fender flares, side strakes and skirts. Front and rear bumpers look stock S4.

Looks like a Strosek kit to me....
I like the black leather interior tho.
Gemballa have a different rear,
and a strange edge running across the rear wheel arches.
And 4 exhaust pipes on one side....!
Ugly!

Was about to say the same: it's Strosek, not Gemballa - check my avatar pic.
Although I disagree about it being ugly!
