Is this a Gepard-NSU? It was a small glassfibre-bodied, NSU TT-based sports car that was shown at the 1969 Essen Motor Show. Its designer, Helmut Kretzschman, also made a series of sports-racing cars.

Erm, a second stab... Is this the 1967 Martini 1600RS (also known as the 1600 GT) designed and built by BMW tuner Willi Martini?

Hey, you're good!  :thumbsup:
It's indeed the BMW engined Martini 1600 RS! We had the Martini Glas 1300 RS before, but this time it was the even less known later Martini car with a slightly different body and a more powerful engine. However it wasn't successful either.

The Martini BMW 1600 RS is in fact the heavily modified Martini Glas 1300 RS (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2009-37/sovled-pj3-martini-glas-rs/).

Probably the first (rather ugly) version of the car. Guess BMW did not allow to wear the BMW "kidney" so they had to modify it.
