Peugoet was/is not aircooled, although it bought Citroen who made aircooled cars, Citroen had earlier bought Panhard which made aircooled cars
the Nikki was not a rebodied Fiat, it was a licenced copy of the Fiat 650, built in Poland
NSU Prinz was not 850cc it was 583cc (600) & did put out a lot of power for its capacity
It was unclear whether I am only supposed to post once with one car, or can post with many
I was going to say Lloyd Alexander, but changed my mind & will say
Citroen GS, as it is more recent & well known & has a flat 4 motor

I stand corrected. In that case the 650 is a rebodied 500. The floorpans are the same I think. Pretty sure you can put a 500 body straight onto the FSM floorpan and get an extra 350cc... wow 18kW

Real pitty only 51 ever got built.
I'd love one of those in my garage. Might be worth my while becoming mates with Jay Leno or something?
