It is a German one-off. If I remember right it has two engines and a tilting mechanism. I have the answer at home. I will look it up tonight. So hurry up, guys!  ;D

It is the Don-Merkur, built in 1929 by W. Donath from Coburg, Germany. The body was a light-alloy unit-body construction that tilted when the steering was engaged. The Don-Merkur was powered by two 500cc Küchen twin engines.
