[Tackitt]

Is this a model for the 1968 Howmet TX turbine car?

[Allemano]

No, it's not.

[Wendax]

It is a scale model proposal for the BMW PT 2000 from 1966/1967. It was supposed to have a Brabham chassis, a glassfibre body and the famous BMW Apfelbeck engine.

[Allemano]

Right!

Design by Manfred Rennen. Brabham chassis, BMW Apfelbeck engine, 1966/67

[fromwien]

Yes, designed by Manfred Rennen in 1966. I am not sure, if it is based on a Brabham chassis, like the first monoposto with the Apfelbeck engine. LOCKED for you to find the type of the car

[hermanoto]

PT-2000, FII-Modell. They wanted a Brabham chassis and the Apfelbeck engine in it. Maybe only a windtunnel modell was built (with no mechanicals).

One more point for you!

There may be some confusions with the Brabham-chassis. The Apfelbeck engine has been tested 1966 in a F1-Brabham-chassis. It's not clear, if that was a BT 7 or BT 11...
If the PT 2000 should have been based on a Brabham-chassis, only BT 8 would have been the choice. But there is no proof of that anywhere.
