Auto & Technik Museum

Post by leadtrombone »

These were taken at the beginning of the month at the Auto and Technik museum in Sinsheim Germany. Pretty cool place. I thought i would share with you cool cats. The link is to the Flicker photo stream. I am trying to get a couple of the pics on the post. We will see if it works.

I like that prototype off-road Porsche. Bears a slight resemblance to a Kübelwagen.

That front end is very similar to the early Bronco's...I LOVE it! 3 MPG...not a problem if I could afford the vehicle.

There is a bit of a resemblance!

I remember reading about those Lambos back in 80s in Four Wheeler or one of the 4x4 mags. Seems they were popular with the sheiks in the middle east.
