Prototyp Automuseum Hamburg, pt. II

Part two of four, photos from the astoundingly cool Prototyp Automuseum in Hamburg.

According to the placard,  only three of these were built as show cars for exhibitions.

 This car is based on the Le Mans race car from 1953

 Approximately 100 of these coach-built VWs were made between 1951-57. Only 19 survive.

BMW-Sauber F1.07. Not sure why this was here, but it was striking nonetheless:

 Porsche somethingorother that I failed to get information on:

you can never go wrong with silver over red

And one of the coolest static driving simulators I've seen:

 The pedals, steering and floor shifter were all connected to the computer.

Parts three and four will follow soon...

Down On The Street - Stuttgart Edition

NSU Prinz TTS, as seen in front of the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart (full M-B Museum post forthcoming).
There's not a spec of Mercedes-Benz DNA in this mighty mini, but it's quite cool anyway.
With a rear-mounted, air-cooled 4-cylinder powerplant (and VW ownership post-1968), it would be better-placed in front of the Audi Museum, two hours away in Ingolstadt.
It certainly would have been cool to have watched this thing zip down the straße.
