DKW Monza actually. And DKW was, just like Audi, one of the brands of Auto Union. And there Audi got their logo from.

To know your future, you must know your past!

Yep. 3-Cylinder 2-stroke. Alfred Hartmann also made a Spyder based on the 3=6 (like the Monza was):

3 cylinder 2 stroke? This is even weirder and cooler than I expected!

That amount of produced vehicles is a hoax! Or at least: debatable. I quote from wikipedia so must be true ;-):

Conflicting reports as to the actual numbers built has been circulated. One of the reasons for this is that there was never an accurate record kept. With several companies making them at various times it was difficult to maintain a good production record. Therefore, it was very difficult to suggest a final production report on the actual number of Monzas built. Making it more difficult was the additional used vehicles at the company and Monza kits that were sold to the public. The number of produced Monzas varies between 230 - 240, (Theoretically possible, according to letters of Wenk to Massholder and Schenk and dealers, but not verified.) to 155 to 53. According to the realistic number of items appear to be about 70 - 80 . Today there are still about 40 to 50 cars.

It is! To get an impression of how it sounds here 's a normal F93 3=6 (where the Monza got it's engine from).

you could be right too , as it doen't break it down between them and DKW F-93 3=6.

maybe Wikipedia is right for once ;)

Germans not being pünktlich: even more weird. This one is supposed to be for sale if you want one.
