It´s a 1952 IFA F9 Rennwagen

[Paul Jaray]

Correct!

[Wendax]

It is not from 1952, but from 1956. It was done by the VEB Flugzeugwerke Dresden.

This coupe is in fact a rebodied racecar. It was built on the base of one of the two IFA F9 racecars driven by Richter and Hofmokel: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=22020

Thank you for the info.
Fixed.

[Paul Jaray]

What was the company name for it?
Flugzeugwerke Dresden, Dresden or is there an acronym for it?

[Wendax]

Melenk names VEB Flugzeugwerke Dresden as the builder. My other source is not sure about the builder, but assumes that it was done under the guidance of WTZ (Wissenschaftlich-Technisches Zentrum) Automobilbau, the engineering headquarter of IFA.
