Somewhat odd rotary-engined prototype town car found in Germany

The article is in German so it probably won\'t be of use to most on here, but here\'s a link to the pictures:

It\'s a (forgotten - they found it behind a load of junk) prototype of a rotary-engined town car in the Smart Car category that Fichtel&Sachs designed about 30 years ago. Supposedly this prototype was built by Porsche as F&S didn\'t have the facilities to build a complete car at that time. F&S didn\'t renew their license for the rotary engine so the whole thing got shelved and they only found the car (single existing prototype) very recently when they were trying to clear some junk off.

According to the article the exterior dimensions are very close to those of a Smart, but it sits three. It even has the engine in the same place as the Smart...
