What's the make and model designation of this car?

It is some sort of Renault?

Experts...

I think to remember ther was a link with Porsche... but I cannot find anything matching

gilescooperuk · April 11, 2009, 12:51:08 PM

NSU ro80 prototype?

Quiller · April 11, 2009, 01:04:47 PM

I don't believe there's a connection with either Porsche or NSU

DynaMike · April 11, 2009, 01:56:18 PM

But it is German, isn't it?

Quiller · April 11, 2009, 07:16:00 PM

Ja

A Giorgetto Giugiaro design study for Volkswagen?

Passat?

Quiller · April 12, 2009, 06:46:52 AM

No Giugiaro connection ...

Might I guess it's a General Motors car with Frua bodywork? That nose appeared on a Camaro by Frua in the seventies. It has chrome wheel trims like Vega and similar.

Quiller · April 14, 2009, 10:22:39 AM

It's an elegant guess, hugo90, but sadly no part of it matches the reality...

This is the Volkswagen Experimental-Sicherheits, or VW ESVW for short, the German marque's contribution to the safety car concept fad of the very early 1970s.

Quiller · April 14, 2009, 02:59:46 PM

Sehr gut

barrett · March 28, 2012, 04:20:19 PM

What's this? A point if you know

cljo · April 04, 2012, 06:36:52 AM

Hello

That is the 1972 ESVW. Air cooled pancace engine in the rear, an experimental safety car from Volkswagen. It had an electronic co pilot and "safety masks" that appeared in front of the drivers and passangers faces in case of an accident.

barrett · April 05, 2012, 11:12:17 AM

Well done, you've just doubled your points!

qwaszx · April 06, 2012, 07:59:46 AM

'pancake' means the ultra flat 411 engine?

Puzzle merged.

Plus here are a couple more photos:
