“We do not see ourselves here at fahr(T)raum<\/em> as museum, but as a living exhibition. Everything is in motion here.

It was later also built with a 1500 cc, 2000 cc and a 3000 cc 6-cylinder motor.<\/p>\n

Participation of the Austro-Daimler team in 53 races with 22 victories for the legendary “Sascha” car, among others at the Targa Florio in Sicily, were the balance of 1922. Regrettably, racing driver Fritz Kuhn died in a fatal accident on September 9, 1922 during training in Monza \u2013 caused by a defectively spoked wheel.
