Bitter Diplomat CD - Luxury touring coupé from the seventies for the discerning

June 8, 2011 — Bruno von Rotz 17

A "celebrity car" with Maserati styling, as it was often called in the seventies. But that was an injustice to the beautiful German, because Erich Bitter had created a high-quality "high-end" touring coupé with the Bitter Diplomat CD.

Test Bitter Diplomat CD - Maserati feeling from Germany (ZQ)

May 30, 2011 — AR-Tester 10

Automobil Revue tested the rare Bitter Diplomat CD in the winter of 1974/1975 and was quite impressed. Here is the testers' brief summary: "We found the Bitter Diplomat CD to be a very pleasant and safe luxury vehicle. It is a valid alternative to a number of other, sometimes more expensive and usually even more powerful coupés. Thanks to its American-style V-8 engine/automatic transmission drive unit, it is mechanically suitable for everyday all-round use, even if it is too good for this due to its extremely well-kept appearance. What we would like to see - at the risk of disturbing its captivating lines - are slightly larger, more protruding bumpers ... to protect its highly elegant front and the rear window, which extends almost to the end of the car."
