1953: The DKW 3=6 goes into productionThree equals six! This simple mathematical equation greatly impressed the public. A three-cylinder two-stroke engine, since it has twice as many working strokes as a four-stroke engine, therefore benefits from a power flow as smooth as a six-cylinder four stroke. The DKW 3=6 went into production in 1953 and became one of Germany’s dream cars during the years of the ‘economic miracle’. | |
