Description

The 880 kg Volkhart V2 Sagitta has a lightweight aluminium body on a tubular steel lattice frame. The name "Sagitta" comes from the Latin for arrow. At the rear is a 1. 1-litre Volkhart boxer engine with 24. 5 hp. Thanks to the aerodynamic shape, which is reminiscent of the Porsche 356, 150 km/ h is possible. With the help of glued-on woollen threads, the flow could be visualised on the bodywork. Price on request.
