It's a prototype,More precise a prototype of a well known volume family car?

Could this be the Bungartz Butz?

If I see what you mean, you're on the right path, even if the way you put goes a little over the board. But why not have made a more precise guess? This isn't enough  for me to lock it for you.

Could this be the Bungartz Butz?

No, but this car is somehow related to the Butz.

This is another Josef Ganz prototype from 1931:
"Sporták Maikäfer (Broucek) z r. 1931"

[Ray B.]

Right. The Maikäfer (may beetle) was completed at Adler in May 1931, along Ganz ideas for a Volskswagen. And so somehow a prototype for the Volkswagen, as Joao wrote.

I wrote that because  this car is the car featured in the latest PreWarCar What´s it Quizz

I hadn't been there in a while.
Now you can answer them and get famous!

A new book about this car is going to be published, I think that as it is a link to a book doesn´t have problem to show:

The car is still around.

Are you sure that these are real photographs? They look more like computer renderings to me. Very good ones, like Dan Palatnik's.

[pnegyesi]

These are real photographs of the car, comissioned by the Maikafer's current owner

[Ray B.]

All right  then.
