Probably. I don't have full details, but I think it's 95% certain.
As the car is amazingly flat, is it fitted with a flat-twin or a flat-four engine, or rather a radically tilted inline three or four ?

That's a lot of questions! ;D. I have no picture of the engine installation , but it must be radically tilted, as you suggest. That leaves one of the last 2 guesses!

YES!
I can confirm that the driver-builder was from the former DDR.

Well solved. One more point to you.
It was not built by Winkler. It is, as stated by oko94, the FR Wartburg, built by Friedrich Richter. The car's nickname was Plättbrett (Ironing board).

Thanks for the information - I will amend the title of the puzzle. I have no further information about this car, and clearly you do!
