Engine failure while driving

My 1987 3.2 Carrera just had to be towed. It drove perfectly this whole weekend including city and highway driving. Today, I decided to take the highway and just after entering the highway things went badly. The car started to “stutter” when I accelerated. I changed from 4th to 5th gear, but the same “stutter” occurred. The oil warning light and the battery light lit up (maybe other ones as well but I might have missed them as I was somehow stressed). Therefore, I drove to the side of the highway and turned off the car. When I tried to turn it on again, it would not start.
Hopefully, nothing major. I had them tow it to a local air cooled specialist. Hopefully, nothing major. I will know more the next couple od days but does anybody have an idea what happened?

Thanks,

Boris
