IIRC that's a fan copy of the original 1940 comic book Batmobile.
The Volkhart-Sagitta came out of Zepplin reasearch done in the 1930s. At a time and place where/when they were squeezing fuel out of coal and wood.

Based on the KdF-Wagen Typ 60 , aka VW Beetle, it was designed by K.C. Volkhart as a fast courier car for Luftwaffe (German Air Force).Body, designed by Baron Reinhard von Koenig-Fachsenfeld, was built by Helmut Fuchs Niederwenningern/Ruhr. Thanks to its low drag coefficient (0.17 only) the streamline body allowed for speeds up to 150 km/h. The engine, mounted at the rear, was the standard VW 1.1-liter boxer, 24.5 hp.

Koenig-Fachsenfeld's name is scattered all through Ecomodder. IMHO the V2 is the ultimate bubble-top coupe*. The Kofferfisch is more of a van.
*It's competition in that category would be the Mercede-Benz 300SL and the 1964 1/2 Mustang.
