General Comments:

I should mention that the car is an accurate replica of the few ever built.

An original probably would cost about half a million €.

The original car was a mid engine 1500cc boxer that put out 148hp at 8000 rpm.

The chassis was tubular and the body aluminum.

At the time (1958/1964) some Austrian replicas were used in competition, but with a 1600cc engine that some say was capable of 160hp.

Mine is a blueprint replica of the original chassis, but it mounts a Volkswagen 2 liter boxer engine with a turbo that puts out about 130 hp.

It has an adapted 4 speed short shift gearbox that came from an early Golf.

Its low weight (about 700Kg) and real wheel drive make it one of the most fun cars I have ever driven.

It handles like a kart and it slides with much precision, even during high speed cornering.

The downside is that at the track, and I believe because of the grip, the chassis and tires bend too much and sometimes it becomes a bit unpredictable, especially if you brake late and enter a turn unbalanced.

All and all an amazing machine, bought with about 20.000 €, that makes faces turn on the street.

A shame it is not the real thing. On the other end, would I have the courage to do with a 500.000 € specimen, what I do with this one?
