Post by: Arunas on February 02, 2022, 06:22:38 AM: Heinz Fuchs was a bodyworker in the test department at Porsche and built this really impressive two-seater coupé on the basis of the VW 1200; after all, with space frame and light alloy body. Thanks to good aerodynamics and a weight of only 560 kg, speeds of 145 km/h could be reached. Fuchs also built a sports convertible with the same basic shape.
