nicely done!  :thumbsup:

The car was coincidentally found as they cleaned up the old factory buildings of the supplier ZF Fichtel & Sachs in Schweinfurt/Germany.
Built in 1975 by Porsche it was never revealed and never left the factory.

It has three seats in a row, weighs only 550kg and is equipped with a Wankel-engine (!) mounted in the base of the car.
The licence fees for the Wankel engine were too expensive and petrol price didn't increase as expected and finally the project was abandoned and forgotten.
