The Steyr 100 and 200 were a series of medium-sized cars built by the Austrian manufacturer Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG from 1934 to 1940. The four-door streamlined body designed by engineer Karl Jenschke was manufactured by Gläser-Karosserie GmbH in Dresden, Germany. ==Design== The cars had a 4-cylinder straight engine and a 4-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels on a leaf spring suspension. Though not high-powered they could easily climb the Austrian Alpine mountain passes, demonstrated by the Salzburg governor Franz Rehrl, when on 22 September 1934 he and engineer Franz Wallack travelled the Grossglockner High Alpine Road driving a Steyr 100, about one year before the official opening. After 2850 vehicles built in 1936, the design underwent improvements, creating the more powerful Steyr 200. One technical novelty for the 200 model was the starter motor, which also doubled as an alternator. 5040 vehicles were produced until 1940. ==See also== *Steyr 120 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steyr 100」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
