It was built with help from Ikarus engineers. Here are a few pictures from a picture album, which belong to László Rekettye, one of the Ikarus people who was there and who later went on to build the Hungarian Dream, a one-off created by raiding Trabant and Polski-Fiat 126p part bins, also an UAZ-based fiberglass Jeep. Then we brought to Hungary a Robin Hood Lotus 7 replica kit in 1995. Oh, sweet memories, when at very early in the morning and sick to my stomach the nice guy from Robin Hood took me out for a spin in the Jaguar V12 demo car and floored it...
Anyhow, forgive my ramblings, here are the pictures

Is it possible that this car has been named Tecoplan "Target" at some western car fairs?

Look at the last picture - it says "target" on the side window :)!

German design and development but never manufactured, right?

Tecoplan Leo from 1989.

Designed by target-design, the team that designed the first Suzuki GSX 1100 Katana from 1981.
The luxurious city car was to be manufactured at Ikarus in Hungary.  The prototype had a Fiat Fire engine.  A version with an electric engine was planned but not built.

Thanks.
I searched for 'Tecoplan' and 'Leo' and 'Tecoplan Leo' but nothing came up...

But I've not seen any evidence anywhere that its name in full was "Leo de Ville".  Where did that come from?  There was no mention of 'de Ville' in the items grobmotorix and pnegyesi posted and there is no mention of it in the entire article I have.

Here is an extract from the rather big article:

Roger Gloor calls it Leo de Ville in his book "Zukunftsautos der 80er Jahre".

Perhaps he just means 'Leo City Car' since there's no sign of that name anywhere else?
