A single new puzzle from me.

Easy for the Experts?

Porsche 356 Karmann Hardtop

No, sorry, something more unusual than that, although it surely has a straight relation to Porsche 356.

VW KdF sporting prototipe made by Porsche?

faksta · October 14, 2010, 09:27:03 AM

No, not that one.

Rometsch ?

faksta · October 14, 2010, 03:51:18 PM

Not Rometsch either.

Reutter?

faksta · October 15, 2010, 04:14:43 AM

Not, as far as I know.

It is the Porsche Type 530, a study for a four-seater variant of the 356 ; the shortwheelbase is lenghtened of 30 cm ; according my sources, a closed coupe and a drophead coupe were built, but I never saw the drophead coupe.

Yes, that's it. As far as I understood, bodywork for this prototype might have been done by Beuttler, but I couldn't find any definite proof.

Here's a better pic. My source reports nothing of a Beutler coachwork.

Apparently designed by Erwin Kommenda.
