You beat me to it! The best thing is the spoiler in the rear will actually lift the rear, not put downforce like they are intended to do. Look at the angle.

Re: where is this from

It might have been only one, but it was a made for tv movie from the '90s. IIRC it was the Banshee IV they used. It was a box set I got a few years ago. The box even has a built in scanner.
