FactThe F4 kept its predecessor's engine and wheelbase unchanged, spending its whole development budget on a sloped tail.
The DKW F4 Meisterklasse, built at Zwickau between 1934 and 1935, carried over the F2 Meisterklasse's 692 cc two-stroke twin, front-wheel-drive layout and 2,610 mm wheelbase, but wore a restyled, more streamlined body with a sloping rear replacing the F2's perpendicular tail. Its 692 cc engine claimed 15 kW (20 PS) at 3,500 rpm. Front engine, front-wheel drive, 3-speed manual; wheelbase 2,610 mm (103 in), length 3,985 mm (156.9 in), width 1,465 mm (57.7 in), height 1,500 mm (59 in).

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.
