    One INCREDIBLE car...

    I saw this at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart last month, and I'm still amazed by it. Check out the wikipedia article for the technology in this car, and keep in mind that it was developed in the late 30s and early 40s.

      Makes me want to buy an old bug, an English wheel, and a lot of wood for bucks.

      And a Subaru engine.

              I like the fuel tank for side impact protection.

                    I was gonna say... must have pencil sized cylinders. Probably makes a great sound though.

                              For real!

                              They also had one if these Porsche designed/built "Sascha" cars there. I have a pic of the video montage next to the car that showed an old picture of the guys racing it. Looked ridic scary.
