Spotted In Germany, Anyone Know This Car? Options

[Osnabruck914]

My wife snapped this pic in a roundabout as we were entering Friedrichshaven about two weeks ago. Apparently there was a car show in the area that day, as there were quite a lot of interesting cars on the road. This was the only 914 we saw on the road in three weeks in Germany. Anyone's here or know this car?

i don't want to flog the subject.
but since i love warts and pure orange front lenses and your car is an interesting fiction - and i am very interested professionally in german design and i might add japanese design you have forced me to say something about the germans and.......
yourselves, that is americans (who i confess i dearly love as a country, i mean f#4k england!!>) its not all minimalism as some kind of purism?

i give you this.
i consider it the greatest piece of machinery ever designed.
if i could hand out a design award for the single best thing ever made, i would give it to this (but it would be a close contest with the pepper grinder).
(i have given up on the F117 as @Van B has privately scolded me i should never meet my heroes as i will only be very disappointed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ).

a flying gattlin gun that can only be shot down with extreme difficulty. it can take a million bullets and keep flying.
a strange mix of 19th century american military technology and captured german WW2 technology.



looks a bit like this?



and whats that.
desperate german functional thinking with their backs against the wall.
but it makes so much sense.

why even screw around with fixing an engine.
just rip it off and put a new one on when they only last 8 hours anyway.
and ever since, just about every civilian jet plane has an engine in a nacelle that looks just like this beauty.



so the warts to me are just this kind of german thinking.
really straight up.
but they can't help themselves, its got to kind of look like what it is.
and then its just stuck on!

the old warthog is the most german thing the yanks have ever made.
and what a beauty.
