Colani GT?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

I think this looks a bit too normal to be a Colani product.  ;D

Thurner RS. I had a right feeling about this car being german (just like the Colani GT).

They look very similar, but it's not the Thurner RS.

So do the experts know what it IS, if it ISN'T the Thurner?

What car is this?
Who designed and built it?

Gepard TT, designed by Helmut Kretschmann and built by him together with Clemens Ahrend and Otto Betzner, both formerly working for Martini. It was shown at the Essen Motorshow in 1969 and was based on NSU TT mechanics. 10 cars were built between 1969 and 1972.

I've just noticed that this was a repost of Arunas' Gepard Mk 1.
Would an admin merge them please.....

Sorry I meant DHoffmann.....
I'm not sure now if they are the same car as mine appears to be the competition version.
Perhaps best leave as they are?

They are both Gepard TT. I guess no two of them were identical. They were all meant for competition use, but could be driven street legally too. Here's another picture of DHoffmann's car ...
