well I found again a nice issue of "Auto Motor und Sport"
I thought this might be of useful interest, despite being in german, a "Porsche Zukunft Sportwagen 901" test, issued 18.04.1964 . . .
the translation is delivered as a pdf file at the end.
best regards from bavaria

this reads like an orbituary. Quite a life for this little car.
