Allright then, I have not found the right searchwords yet. Just can't find a picture of it...
Anyway - does this proposal come from a well established carrozzeria or is it from a "new" design house/bureau ?

A long-established and very well-known one, although like many of them they are no longer what they once were..

I believe the "concept"/render is known as Pian GT. It was initally drawn by Marcio Piancastelli when he was a intern at Ghia in 1963, while this modern render was made by Dan Palatnik.

Nice looking design. Shame it was never made. Here is it from the rear:

Absolutely right.
Very good.

I think this is the original Piancastelli drawing from 1963:

I was only answering questions..
The original proposal was for a DKW sports car to replace the Monza..

Pian GT is just what the design proposal was called. I found through searching for "dkw render" or something similar when a discovered a different DKW model rendered by Dan Palatnik. I noticed that his render had a style that looked very similar to the mystery car so I then searched for "dkw Dan Palatnik" and found it imminently.

HI, Iīm new in this group, but I can comment more about this picture.
The Pian GT was designed by Marcio Piancastelli during the period he was learning at Ghia and the rendering was done done by Dan Palatnik in the beginning of 2015.

Marcio was my father in law and since he was with cancer at this period, I have help him to draw some details to help Danīs 3D rendering process.
