Another Kit Car from the 1970th on the beetle chassis. I like the fast look and the canopy opening - that´s why I`ve modeled it. I customized the taillight section. The original tail looks strange to me. Tieres are a way oversized but looks good on this thing. The original engine is just the 34hp beetle engine. There are also boxer engines from Porsche and Alfa (maybe some other brands) put into these fiberglas cars. Again a nice history…
these are so wonderful- thanks for sharing them here!
Great work, any chances to see a shaded view please?
Kyle, thank you for your kind words.
Daniil: This is a spaceship! In real life the opening and closeing looks a bit funny cheep. The creeping in or creeping out of the spaceship must be ineresting.
@Frank_Meyer did you happen to see this?

feels like something you would appreciate,
I know I sure do…
Kyle, I get lost in watching videos and images of this cool car. Super history - never heared about it! It´s worth to think about modeling it. Nice shape and cool-simple details on it and now it is a Kit Car.
ya know… with Rhino, a pile of square steel tubing, some aluminum sheet and a pile of fiberglass…you could put one in your garage from scratch…
does give one pause to dream eh?
Hi, great design, there is also an italian version made in Italy by Puma, a small factory near Rome…they made iconic cars in the 70’s and 80’s -
