Wow, cool looking plane! I looked through all my Luft 46 references and there is no P20D, but it looks like the P.208/03 on pg.33 of Luftwaffe Secret Projects Fighters 1939-1945 by Walter Schick.
Perfomance stats for those interested:
490mph at 29,500'
average rate of climb: 185ft per min
initial rate of climb: 3540ft per min
range 1230km
wing loading (ave): 54lb/ft2
P:W ratio: 0.19 with fuel injection emergency boost MW50
armament: 3x 30mm Mk108 cannon in nose

So not particularly stunning manouvreability, but good top speed for a pusher prop. Just looks good, will have to buy some!
