Hitler saw the design in 1930 or so stole it and turned it over to Porsche. I believe Ganz was able to escape Nazi Germany but basically disappeared into obscurity.
Porsche improved on the design Ganz made in the same way the Elio is an improvement in the design of the Can-Am Spyder.NSTG8R --- Contrary to popular belief Ferdinand Porsche did not design the original VW bug but improved upon an earlier design by Josef Ganz who happened to be Jewish.

According to the books Tatra - The Legacy of Hans Ledwinka and Car Wars, Adolf Hitler said of the Tatra 'this is the car for my roads'.[2][3]Ferdinand Porsche later admitted 'to have looked over Ledwinka's shoulders' while designing the Volkswagen.[2][4]
Tatra sued Porsche for damages, and Porsche was willing to settle.
