It is a set of carbon fiber tubes, made by Columbus, from which to construct a frame.
If it is the name of a bike, the builder presumably licensed the trademark from Columbus, and that particular frame probably uses the Columbus bits.

They do, indeed, make one - from their Web site ...
XLR8R5
COLUMBUS Carbon XLR8R Max
Full Carbon frame made with wrapped oriented ellipse shaped tube set, Columbus XLR8R MAX (Double Oval Concept) for an excellent stiffness/weight ratio.
[EDIT] Actually, they appear to make two - the Estrada is also one of these.
