SP 2 - any one seen one of these before???

The VW SP2 was developed in 1970. The stylists worked under the direction of Senor Schiemann and Rudolf Leiding, one of VW’s most dynamic leaders in the 1970s. Later that year, the stylists completed a full-scale plaster of the new car. Leiding approved the building of a running car for display at a German Trade Show in march 1971. It attracted so much attention, that it was tooled for production. The German magazine Hobby labeled the SP-2 the "The most beautiful Volkswagen in the world.” Shortly thereafter, Leiding took office as CEO of VW – did his beautiful SP-2 have anything to do with his promotion? There is still no consensus on what’s behind the unusual model name – SP-2. However, many suggest that it comes from the German initials of “Sport-Prototyp” (or sport prototype). The first SP produced was named SP-1, the SP-2 was born a few months later with a more powerful engine. Production ended in 1976.
