I remember reading an article about it a long time ago. It is German from the early Seventies, isn't it?

[grobmotorix]

Right, ca.1970...

Black hole?

Driving into automobilistic nirvana...

In the soviet magazine "Наука и жизнь" ("Science and Life") №1/1972 was a note about this vehicle. Maybe this information will be useful.

АВТОМОБИЛЬ В БАГАЖНИКЕ
Западноберлинский дизайнер Юрген Юнингер спроектировал и построил микроавтомобиль, который можно, вероятно, считать самым маленьким в мире: весит он всего 28 килограммов. Оснащенный двигателем мощностью 2,2 лошадиной силы, он может развивать довольно приличную для малютки скорость — 40 километров в час. Рычаг, которым Юнингер управляет своим детищем, выполняет одновременно несколько функций: это и рулевое колесо, и тормоз, и акселератор. Микроавтомобиль можно легко разместить в багажнике обычного автомобиля. Предполагают, что через некоторое время начнется серийное производство автомобиля-карлика.

CAR IN THE TRUNK
West-berlin designer Jürgen Yuninger (Juninger or anyway?) designed and built microcar, which can probably be regarded as the smallest in the world: it weighs only 28 kilogram. Equipped with an engine capacity of 2.2 horsepower, he could develop a fairly decent speed - 40 kilometers per hour. The lever that controls the Yuninger his creation performs multiple functions: it is the steering wheel, brake and accelerator. Microcar can easily be placed in the trunk of an ordinary car. Assumed after a while begin mass production of midget car.

Very well done, Kytsyk!

It is Jürgen Junginger´s micro "car", indeed.

You´ve beaten all of the professional puzzlers!

This is a very well earned second point.

Amazing! Jürgen Junginger was my design professor while I was studying at Essen University. Never heard of this car of him, though we tried to unearth every "Leiche in seinem Keller"*.

Very interisting!!!

It´s a real pleasure to show you something new...

Did he have other automotive projects then?

I remember sketches of BMW bikes and interiors, but not vehicles with four wheels
