Kinda cute.  Is it Fiat-based?

Yes, but very early. Locked for more precise description (type designation, year of construction, on which vehicle type was the prototype based).

No, the 311/0 was a 4-door sedan.
Edit: AP-car was based on IFA/DKW 309.

This your point :applause:
My source calls it "IFA EMW-AWE_F9-P-Prototyp" from 1954, but other sources calls it "EMW F9 (311) Prototyp". So I end the puzzle at this point.
It based on the IFA DKW F9, however, anticipated the shapes of the Wartburg 311. The 311, in series from 1956, had four doors and a 10 centimetres longer wheelbase.
