I Found This Beautiful, Bizarre Car In A German Design Museum - And Its Backstory Is Fascinating

I was in Munich for DLD, a conference, and I had a morning to kill.

So I joined a group tour of modern art museum Pinakothek der Moderne's design wing.

There was all kinds of impressive stuff - but I immediately gravitated to a crazy-looking, beautiful car.

You can see it on the bottom left of this photo.
