I've seen this picture as a mystery car before. The longer I look at it, the more I get the feeling that it is more of a drawing than a photograph. If it really existed, the design makes me think of a German or Czechoslovakian car.

Could it be another photoshopped April Fools' joke?

I agree that this is simply a heavily retouched rendering, but that doesn't mean it wasn't intended to become an actual car at some point. I'd also agree that the styling points to Germanic or Czech origins...

Otto, it looks like the drawing was created 'in period' to me (the shoddy editing around the bottom of the car is my own) but I suppose it could be a total fabrication meant to mislead people. The question still stands though, if not 'what is it?' then 'What does it purport to be?'

So, likely not any real car, but a point is still there if somebody can say what it actually is... It'll be sent to the dreaded hole in the next couple of days though
