Borgward dropped the Hansa name for its racing cars in 1955, after the Isabella succeeded the Hansa 1500 (and was just called Isabella, after a short time when it was the Hansa 1500 Isabella). The puzzle car is a third-generation Borgward 1500 RS in its 1958 configuration with the rucksack on its back. Three cars were built in 1956 and three in 1958.

One of those cars in its initial 1956 guise can be seen here: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2013-42/solved-neh-2915-borgward-1500-rs-1958/msg288469/#msg288469

 The engine is by Borgward, the abbreviation 4 M 1.5 III( RSE refers to a racecar engine) it was first produced in 1956 designed by Karl Ludwig Brandt. The car was a Borgward two seater raced by  RS (Rennsport) these had competed in Mexico's Carrera Panamericana as well as on European tracks.

Yes, you are right. It is a Borgward RS 1500, dohc, twin ignition and fuel injection, designed by K.-L. Brandt. But there were several versions. please define the year of construction, that should be possible with the help of the foto.

It is definitely not the 1500 RS built from new old-stock parts by Marcus Burke in 2009.

Borgward 1500RS factory designation type 4M1,5 IIIRS from 1952/53

Such a car was driven by Eberhard Mahle, Avus-Rennen 1958, racing number 32. The only surviving car of this type was rebuilt/restored by Fritz Jüttner and raced by his son. The pictured car must be the Jüttner car (braided hose).

Yes, that must be one of the two cars with a Kamm-rear deck. I took the photos in the 80s at the Nürburgring. The type designation of the engine is correct, but the year of construction is wrong. Locked for you to clear this point.

Engine development started around 1952 and continued in later Years. The tubular frame was introduced in 1957. The removable Kamm-tail / "Avus-Hump"/ "Rücksack" belongs to the 1957/58 versions. In 1958 only one car was built, the Electron. This car had a 'flipfront'. The Jüttner car has a normal hood/bonnet and therefore it is from 1957.

Your description of the vehicle is correct. But the development of the dohc-engine began later than you stated. In 1952, the company was still working on the further development of the Isabella based ohv engine, please specify.
