technical data

hi s.beuchert

what about some more technical stuff? I am interested in making this car, and it wouldn't be too bad to know some more technical details, for example:
- which kind of gearboix was roposed? a 5-speed manual? the grand prix- gearbox?
- what about the car's interiour? are there any designs?

regards,

Here is the complete article from Motor Klassik - Issue 7 , July 1989
with the story and some technical data and a sketch of the wheelbase.
No interieur, cause it was only a proposal, no Prototypes build.
