It's a funny read if you hit the translate button on the top right.
"In March 1970 the Spanish Porsche importer Werner Bernhard Heiderich (in the USA the Verne Ben bought heath-smell yourself called; almost exclusively the way of writing Heidrich indicated in the past literature is not correct) a Volkswagen Porsche 914/6 (Design: Gugelot Design GmbH, new Ulm; Design responsible person attorney: Hans's servant) with central engine. Since it was too ugly it, it wanted to leave it provided with a new body in Italy and transferred the vehicle directly during the collection from Stuttgart to Turin. He tried it first with Giorgetto Giugiaro, which was however too busy at this time. Therefore turned heath-smell to Pietro Frua, which karossierte again the cars according to its desires. The car should look as far as possible as the Mercedes Benz C111 with wankel engine, including its wing doors. Frua fulfilled Heiderichs of desires, omitted however the wing doors probably due to the technical difficulties, which heath-smell annoyed. In order to guarantee that the road performances the appearance corresponded, the engine in Turin of Heiderichs mechanics Antonio Santez was drilled out using other pistons and piston rods (among other things parts Porsche 906 Carrera 6) on 2,4-Liter and the achievement was increased to 225 HP (car engine and sport, number 7, 1971; Christophorus, number 110, 1971; Heath-smell, verbal report). The vehicle was issued on that Geneva salon in March 1971. There saw the Porsche PR-boss and running leader Fritz Huschke of Hanstein the car and informed by telephone Ferry Porsche, which thereupon specially to Geneva drove, in order to regard it too. Since he pleased him much, he was correct a partial supply heath-smells on for the building of a limited small series in Madrid too (heath-smell, verbal report). In addition, seriousness Otto Filius, the managing director of the Volkswagen Porsche marketing company showed interest to let the cars of Porsche build in Stuttgart (Long 1997, Liechtenstein 2003)." |
