DKW F102
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The DKW F102 is a car produced by German manufacturer DKW. It succeeded the Auto Union 1000 and 1000S models in 1963. It was the last model developed by an independent DKW and provided the base for the later Audi F103 models (marketed as Audi 72, 80, Super 90, 60 or simply AUDI). The F102 featured state-of-the-art two-stroke technology for its time and a unibody of modern design. Nevertheless, the market of the Sixties shunned two-stroke engines as old-fashioned; the F102 in consequence sold below the company´s expectations and was the source of huge financial losses. It remained in production until 1966; after that the name of DKW was abandoned.
