DKW 1953

F 89 Meisterklasse – new model
F 91 Sonderklasse – new model

Germany


The new F 91 at Paris Motor Show.

W 1953 roku zaprezentowano model F91 Sonderklasse. W odróżnieniu od przedwojennych DKW o tej nazwie, zastosowano przedni napęd. Silnik to jednostka 2-suwowa, 3-cylindrowa o pojemności skokowej 896 cm³.


In Germany the Auto Union company of Dusseldorf have commenced producing the three-cylinder, in-line, "Sonderklasse" model which was running in prototype form during the war. Of 896 c.c. it develops 34 h.p. and the crankshaft (unlike the two-cylinder models) lies in the normal plane and drives a four-speed gearbox placed behind the front driving shafts. As is normal practice with D.K.W., a free-wheel is interposed between the clutch and the gearbox–a position where it exercises no influence upon the gear-changing process but where, running at crankshaft speed, the torque can be carried in a unit of small dimensions.
