Ferdinand Porsche, who has gone down in history as a pioneer of automotive engineering, developed a car for the upper middle class for the Steyr-Werke in 1929: following his career as Technical Director at Austro Daimler (1906-1923). He very advantageously reengineered, as instructed by Steyr, the Steyr type XX and created a substantially new model – the type XXX (or 30).<\/p>\n

Steyr’s first all-steel construction was completed by Porsche\u00b4s successor, Karl Jenschke. The presentation at the Paris Motor Show in 1930, a year after construction began, went well. The Steyr Type 30 was praised by the press as a good and solid car. “The 4- to 5-seater standard-convertible 4-door embodies the practical utility car for all purposes”, was how Steyr itself extolled the Type 30 in advertising brochures. It was executed in eight different colour combinations.<\/p>\n

Technically, the vehicle was of a high standard: 2.1 litre ohv 6-cylinder in-line engine in a light alloy (silumin) crankcase, 8 crankshaft bearings, water cooling with pump and thermostat, heated intake manifold and automatic choke. One could reach up to 100 kph with the 3-speed transmission.<\/p>\n

A lightweight, torsion-resistant sheet steel frame and the rear swing axle ensured comfortable suspension and good road holding. In addition, illuminated interior lighting, ashtray and cigar lighter mirrored contemporary luxury.<\/p>\n

Overall, Steyr made 2,200 vehicles of this type from 1930 to 1932. In addition to the standard version of the 4-door convertible (Double Phaeton), the Type 30 was also offered as a 4-door sedan, as a 2-door 4-seat luxury convertible and as a 2- to 3-seater special luxury convertible.<\/p>\n

The Steyr works merged in 1934 with the Austro-Daimler-Puchwerke AG. After the merger, the company changed its name to Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG. Among the designers who worked for the predecessor companies of Steyr-Daimler-Puch, were also, inter alia, Ferdinand Porsche and Karl Jenschke.<\/p>\n

A beautiful grey specimen of the Steyr Type 30 can now be viewed at fahr(T)raum Mattsee!<\/p>\n
