Gottfried Vollmer's VW-based car from 1950?

Does the car have a name or is it simply named after its driver?

It could be any of the many VW-based specials: Krings?

Not Krings. But you´re in the right half of the alphabet... ;)

A last guess then I'll leave it to someone with access to more detail of the early postwar German racing scene to finish it off.

Hans Finke, 1950

This is the first of Hans-Joachim Kranke's eigenbau racecars, built in 1950 based on a VW Kübelwagen. The same car in a later guise can be seen here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=20001

I have a different name and need to be convinced, still.
The Kranke car from your link has a different front axle, with a rod that goes though a hole in the bonnet...

Here´s another version of this car, again with the other name:

According to my book about Porsche specials it awfully looks like the Walter Hampel VW monoposto built for Major Bob Hall.
