probably one 750cc, 3cyl. two-stroke radial-engine in the rear. There's a similar looking open streamliner described in the book, which engine is shown on a photo below. I think the packaging of the puzzle streamliner is the same.
I'll post the pic tomorrow.

The cap in the front seems to cover the engine, I guess, but then why are there so big air intakes on both sides from a cockpit? That is why I've had this idea.

According to a recent magazine article this seems to be the VR1 (Volksrennwagen 1) built by Kurt Volkhart in cooperation with Reinhard Koenig-Fachsenfeld and Rolf Schrödter, chief engineer of Imperia.
