Prototyp Car Museum and its collection

Prototyp Car Museum
Source

Prototyp Car Museum features a permanent exhibition that is specialized in German sports and racing cars developed after the Second World War, which were technically based on pre-war constructions like the Volkswagen. The museum is privately funded and tries to focus on the designers of the cars and the race drivers like Otto Mathé and Petermax Müller who established racing after the Second World War. Post-war unqiue self-built cars were often used. These "proptypes" are mostly on display in the car museum, along with other race and sports cars and some modern formula cars.
