Based on the KdF-Wagen Typ 60,
aka VW Beetle, it was designed by K.C. 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.
