Information
The car was initially given a makeshift body made from sheet metal. Its angular design earned it the internal nickname 'Sledge.'
The first test run took place on April 1, 1969. At that time, the car lacked a roof and side panels and was only partially assembled.
The car was eventually scrapped, likely because it was suitable only for engine testing, and the four-rotor engine couldn’t be installed due to space limitations.
Previously painted in Pearl-white.
Modifications
Following tests at the Hockenheimring, the car was fitted with a flatter front hood.
Additional modifications to the front hood and rear end design were made after testing at FKFS.
