If it is German I would guess it is the same type deal Rolls Royce did with their Phantom chassis and made it a armored type car with a machine gun on tip. The doubled the wheels on the rear to carry the weight. Probably something similar.

The shape seems familiar

I think it might be a Czech Skoda PAII "Zelva" or "Turtle", rather than German or VW.

For some reason it reminds me of the Battlepods from the Robotech Anime series.

It's a Kino Kar!

Actually, I was thinking it looks like a prop from Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

This was the Rolls Royce version. I suspect WW1. It was the Phanton Silver Ghost chassis. So, similar to what you have.

Prototype Dalek?

A motorised chastity belt for a giants wife.

I want that thing to stand up on legs and say with a computer voice "DROP YOUR WEAPONS. YOU HAVE 30 SECCONDS TO COMPLY." as the machine gun pods come out.

I-25 · 04-19-09, 11:16 PM

although it did come from a VW forum (www.thesamba.com) it is DEFINITELY not VW

do any of you rlly think a 24hp engine is gonna push that thing?

so yea its probably some kind of special built armored car

d@rk51d3 · 04-20-09, 02:33 AM

My first thought was VW also.

The headlights, and nose bear a remarkable similarity........... and I have seen pre-production / prototype beetles with those slit windows too.......... But that was many years ago.
