Help me identify this car

Last night I saw a car I couldn't identify in woodland hills (by the starbucks on Topanga and Ventura).

The front end looked like a first generation Maserati with a large vent in the hood. It had a mid engine that sounded a lot like a V8. It was convertible and had the look and feel of a low production car.

Anyone know what it is? Looked and sounded very mean in person. Like a cross between an Elise and a Ferrari.

nope. It had a 911 style front trunk but no usable space, just a huge vented hood and a horizontal fan you could see through the vent.

Could it be an Ultima? Possibly a TVR Sagaris?

I've only seen one once at Stanford shopping center. 4.2L v8. Then again you said mid engine...so probably not.
