This compact streamliner appeared in the most inappropriate year - 1944
Based on the KdF Wagen Typ-60 , aka VW Beetle, it was designed by KC Volkhart as a fast courier car for Luftwaffe (German Air Force). Body, designed by Baron Reinhard von Koenig-Fachsenfeld, was built by Helmut Fuchs Niederwenningern / Ruhr. Thanks to its low drag coefficient (0.17 only) the streamline body allowed for speeds up to 150 km / h. The engine, mounted at the rear, was the standard VW 1.1-liter boxer, 24.5 hp.
