Is there a name to refer to this kind of (computer) drawing style:
which resembles a little bit the style of the Portal 2 trailer?

Two relevant terms:
- The type of flat-3D perspective is isometric view (or more accurately pseudo-isometric because it looks like it's not strictly based on 120 degrees).
- The style of limited-detail but accurate drawing is like instructional diagrams - in particular, it looks based on styles commonly used in in-flight safety diagrams. A lot of the incidental graphics in Portal and Portal 2 reference styles used in corporate instructional diagrams.

In general, images which have no perspective foreshortening are parallel projections. Lots more detail here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_projection Commented Sep 27, 2013 at 1:24
It may also be helpful for you to look at designing from one, two and three point perspectives, a pre-computer, fundamental method for drawing like this:
