20 million-billion internets (and a dedicated dump) to anyone who can find info or images of a front-mounted flat VW or Porsche engine (Indy Cars don't count).

1955 Volkswagen EA (De: Entwicklungsauftrag, En: literally, Development Order) 48 Prototype; Volkswagen's Mini Cooper competitor that never was. It was a 3-door hatchback that was designed to be a cheaper alternative to Volkswagen Typ 1 (Beetle). It was powered by a front-mounted air-cooled two-cylinder Boxer engine (basically a Typ 1 engine that was cut in half) that produces 13kW (17hp). Unfortunately, Volkswagen feared the EA 48 will hurt the struggling Typ 1 sales and cancelled the project. In early 70's, it was resurrected for the Volkswagen Golf/Scirocco/Polo development.

Wow, I wasn't expecting a vintage factory car.

Some time and I'll have a dump for you. Cheers!

Sweet :) I did wonder how difficult it would be to get a flat 6 in the front of a 924/944. Very cool :)

Hah, well, you asked for a VW or a Porsche with a front-mounted flat (Boxer) engine. The EA 48 Prototype was the only VW with a H2 engine in the front. :)
