FactThe F2 launched under a different name entirely, badged the DKW Meisterklasse rather than F2.
The DKW F2, launched at the April 1932 Berlin Motor Show and initially marketed as the "DKW Meisterklasse," was Auto Union's DKW division's front-wheel-drive economy car, built at Zwickau from 1932 to 1935 — sharing its 584 cc two-stroke twin and drivetrain with the F1 but on a longer wheelbase and larger body. A revised inlet/exhaust system later raised the 584 cc engine's claimed output from its original 15 PS to 18 PS; a further 692 cc-engined version (renamed DKW Meisterklasse 701) claimed 20 PS. Front engine, front-wheel drive, 3-speed manual; wheelbase 2,610 mm (103 in), length 3,895 mm (153.3 in, Reichsklasse) or 3,955 mm (155.7 in, Meisterklasse), width 1,480 mm (58 in), height 1,500 mm (59 in).

Owning one

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
