[targhediferro]

Can you identify this car? Make, model and year to get a point.

[targhediferro]

No interest among Experts. Up.

Electric motors in the rear hubs - anything to do with Lohner-Porsche ?

[targhediferro]

My source just reports a marque, a model and a year; anyway I suppose there could be a link between this car a Lohner-Porsche.

[pnegyesi]

I just have very vague memories of a similar car. Is it a Metallurgique?

[targhediferro]

Not a Metallurgique.

[pnegyesi]

Mercedes Mixte?

[grobmotorix]

Hm - all the Elektro-Hybrid Mercedes I know have the electric drive integrated in the front wheels.

The overall design looks indeed very much like a Mercedes...

Let´s see what this is.

Well, I think Pal deserves the point, but here is what I´ve found:

The car shows Otto Kaes driving a modified 8 liter Austro-Daimler "Mixte" race car at Brooklands in 1908.

[targhediferro]

Yes, Grobmotorix got the right car! The picture shows an Austro-Daimler Mixte 1908 driven by Otto Kaes.  My source says it was called typ Taunus because of the fact it took part in Taunus Renn.
I'm quite sure that the electric engine was provided by Porsche who entered in Austro-Daimler in 1907, so it's probably it was a Lohner engine.
I think Grobmotorix deserves this point.

[pnegyesi]

yes, it is his point

[grobmotorix]

Oh, thank you both!
