Er.. no!  Or not a real one anyway; that would have been just a little too easy..
Don't forget this is AutoPuzzles, where things are rarely quite what they seem to be!

Oh, OK, I think I follow your lead.  This is the car (I believe that two were made) from the movie "Tower Heist" which was claimed to be a 1963 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso Coupe, but was actually replica made from a heavily modified Volvo P1800 platform.

Exactly!
Apparently they needed the car to fall from a great height so a real Lusso was not an option!
