DKW Monza, 1956-1958, built by Dannenhauser & Stauss (later on by Massholder from Heidelberg and Robert Schenk from Stuttgart)

That would have been easy, wouldn't it? And it would have been a repost, too.
You are right with it being a DKW bodied by Dannenhauer & Stauss, but this car was not called Monza for a good reason.
Locked for you.

DKW Sport Coupé (prototype) built by Dannenhauser & Stauss, presented at the IAA 1955.The pictured car is car number one. In 1956 ith a record was driven with the 6th car built at the Monza track: 72 hours with an average of almost 140KM/h. After this the name of this model became DKW 3=6 MONZA

Very good! The pictured car is the very first of these coupes, the second one was already pictured in a former DKW Monza puzzle: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2009-37/whaddyacallit-230-solved!-dkw-monza/msg43439/#msg43439 and https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2009-37/whaddyacallit-230-solved!-dkw-monza/msg389044/#msg389044.
Both cars were built on the narrow-track DKW F91 chassis.
