Photo Gallery «Lateral head with charm - Auto Union 1000 SP in (historic) test»
When you first look at the Auto Union 1000 SP, you inevitably think of a daintier copy of the early Ford Thunderbird. But if you take a closer look, the German two-stroke sports coupé reveals many other mechanical peculiarities in addition to the front-wheel drive, which give the 1000 SP its very own character. In 1960, a pair of journalists investigated whether it was possible to warm up to it and why it was better to take off your good shoes before setting off. This article quotes an original test report and shows the Auto Union 1000 SP in extensive historical images and sales material.
The 1000 SP is a special car that guarantees the attention of others, as this illustration from a 1957 brochure suggests.
