Apparently, the car is from 1992 and simply called "roadster".

"The 1992 Warlock Sports roadster is a one of a kind with pure performance. Featuring: Unique bi-lateral steel box tubing lattice chassis, 17" wheels, 13" brakes, carbon fiber body with pan skin. The Eagle engine is a fuel injected 621 cu in 10 liter V"

I think this car has been also known as Roaring Twenties Python.

It is just according to what I've found on the net too and according to a couple of books:

Quote
The Python, announced in 1991, was supposed to be a high-tech sports car with a stainless-steel honeycombed chassis and carbon-fiber body. Power was to have been from a 10-liter aluminium V-8, but it does not appear to have made it into production
From a description of the Roaring Twenties in the Big Guide

It sounds strangely like a pre-pro Viper name. Also with a V10.

From the front, the Python/Warlock doesn't look much like a Viper...

After further research: A single Warlock/Python roadster was built.  The Warlock was the early version with popup headlights, and was painted black.  The later red version with covered headlights was called the Python.

They're really the same car; the Warlock was the early version before it was modified slightly at the front to become the Python.
So the red car puzzled is a Python, as Hermanoto said.  The black car is the Warlock.

(And I'll have to merge them!)

Huh... I did not know that...

Oh well, I’ll give Hermanoto the point as well, since i didnt have the info I should’ve when I found this car. Sorry for the mishap!
