A contribution by Matthias Zabel from Hamburg, Germany
A little bit of history:
This is the first post-WW II car to wear the Audi brand. The car was born under the DKW brand in 1963.
It was named DKW F102 and had a four-cylinder two (!)-stroke engine. Exterior design came from Italy,
it was done by Fissore in Savigliano (the same company that penned and built nearly all Monteverdis a
decade later). The DKW was not a success. Finally, VW took over the DKW. In order to make a “real car”
out of it, they installed a four-stroke engine that was developed by Mercedes Benz. With a little
styling change on the front end, the new car was dubbed Audi F103; later the horsepower output was used
for designation (hence Super 90 = 90 hp). Production started in 1965 and lasted until 1972.
So this was the nucleus of the Audi brand.
