Quite an organic design.

For one point, please respond and identify the person who did this design and the year it was made.

Allemano · July 22, 2011, 02:49:29 AM

From one of the common pioneers in automotive aerodynamics?

Wendax · July 22, 2011, 03:04:42 AM

No

Allemano · July 22, 2011, 03:17:03 AM

I guessed as much.....

Wendax · August 24, 2011, 08:33:18 AM

Open to all

Otto Puzzell · August 24, 2011, 05:15:52 PM

German?

Wendax · August 27, 2011, 03:25:09 PM

Ja

The rear wheel looks very different. So maybe this was planned like a Megola engine?

Wendax · September 01, 2011, 03:27:39 PM

This must be left to imagination. On the proposal there are no remarks about the engine, just the dimensions and weight of the car as well as the proposed maximum speed of 100 km/h. It probably would have been powered by a motorcycle engine.

barrett · September 01, 2011, 03:30:04 PM

Was it from an established car manufacturer? (I'm assuming it's not!)

Wendax · September 01, 2011, 03:43:09 PM

No, it was done by an engineer who worked on several fields, as aviation, engines, cars, mechanisms and many more. He made a lot of inventions, but is not widely known.

Amazing (or unbelievable)! You found it. It is the proposed "Sport- und Reisewagen" (Sports and travel car) by Curt Lehmann from Oschatz, Germany. One of his many jobs was as chief engineer at the Koco car works. But the profession that made him famous was the maintenance and repair of ancient clocks, especially church clocks. Quite universally gifted, that man.
