Who knows some details?

Time to be promoted!

Well, it´s not that easy, but I´m sure some experts would be able to solve this one.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #3 on:** November 04, 2010, 03:10:32 AM »

Professionals will do this...

Arunas · « **Reply #4 on:** November 04, 2010, 03:22:07 AM »

German?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #5 on:** November 04, 2010, 04:33:45 AM »

That looks like a young Chris Bangle on the left.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #6 on:** November 04, 2010, 05:44:40 AM »

Not german.

I´ll check the Chris Bangle question, but I do not think it could be him.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #7 on:** November 04, 2010, 05:56:58 AM »

Oh well. I think the wheels look late '70's Ford.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #8 on:** November 04, 2010, 06:10:33 AM »

No Ford connection to my best knowledge.

It was built in the early 1970´s.

No main manufacturer was involved and the engine is kind of exotic, too.

Hochschule Ulm?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #10 on:** November 04, 2010, 06:50:59 AM »

It was not a german project.
The engine is from the USA, but it uses a well known german working principle.

Allemano · « **Reply #11 on:** November 04, 2010, 06:51:50 AM »

Wankel engine?

Elsbett?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #13 on:** November 04, 2010, 05:05:58 PM »

Wankel marine inside, yes!

grobmotorix · « **Reply #14 on:** November 10, 2010, 08:27:44 AM »

This project has been the part of a bigger competition.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #15 on:** December 08, 2010, 05:05:40 PM »

So is the name Urban UM?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #19 on:** December 08, 2010, 06:02:45 PM »

I have no model designation. But Paul has one more point....

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #20 on:** December 08, 2010, 06:09:36 PM »

This car was developed for the UVDC (Urban Vehicle Design Competition) by the University of Michigan.
The competition was won by University of British Columbia (already featured here at Autopuzzles).
I just named the pics 'Urban' plus the initials of the Universities (UN - University of Nevada, UBC - University of British Columbia - UM University of Manitoba, ARD - Art School of Detroit, etc).
If they have official names, they are not reported in the article.
