Sorry to interfere, but it's not correct:
It is the Gepard NSU Spider of August Stawicki. AUGUST STAWICKI (ASTAMOT-TUNING = A(ugust)STA(wicki)MOT(or)) did NSU-engine-tuning and raced this Spider
Some pictures attached with "Gepard"-designation at the front of the car and ASTAMOT-sticker

Sorry for misunderstandings, but the puzzle car isn't called "ASTOMOT NSU Spider". That's totally wrong! (sometimes facebook entries can also be incorrect)
ASTAMOT is the name of August Stawickis tuning company. He was the driver of the car too
As previously mentioned:
This is the "Gepard NSU Spider" with an ASTAMOT-tuned engine. Driver August Stawicki

Some more informations, with a shortcutted translation of the attached article

..Once I had an engine from August Stawicki in my Gepard Group 6 NSU with wing doors. The NSU Gepard was built in Bonn by aircraft designer Kretschmann, Stawicki drove the open version of it. He was the world champion in lightening NSU clutches, rocker arms, etc., very thin grounded and razor-sharp.  Somewhere I must still have a typewritten brochure about his NSU mufflers. A bright-sounding steel pipe, modelled to fit the stock exhaust manifold.... Stawicki was one of the first to took part in the 500km Nürburgring races in the 60s with an special NSU Sport-Prinz, forced by a doubled NSU-Max motorcycle engine in its engine bay.Together with the other Prinz-drivers Hans Menzel, Roland Heck, etc., he took many class wins there. August Stawicki, the fearless NSU driver from Rhineland..
