Q: What do these planes have in common?
A: I've flown in examples of each, but I've never landed in any of them.

It's most likely a TTS (which was the factory hot-rodded version of the already hot TT). Also known as the "mini-Corvair" . They were very popular cars for privateers back in the 60s and early 70s, are still pretty popular in historic motorsport in Germany and also in hillclimbs (where these photos came from).
Here's another car you don't see much on these shores that's very popular in European historic racing and also still seen at hill climbs (and not, that is not a Fiat 500):
OK, it's obviously a Fiat 500 built under license, but instead of the parallel twin these came with a 650cc flat twin from the factory (Steyr Puch, the folks who also brought you the Pinzgauer) that can be made to produce considerably more power than most 500s within the regulations.
