The F11 was offered until June 1965.
Shapely in the lines, powerful in expression, functional in conception, this five-seater offers with low upkeep and maintenance costs medium great performance. The valveless three-cylinder engine with 796 ccm has 34 hp (39 SAE) with the stepwise AUTO.In conjunction with front-wheel drive, contact steering, a well-balanced suspension and exemplary brakes, it develops optimal driving characteristics. Windshield washer system and ignition steering lock included as standard start-repeat lock On with automatic"Saxomat" clutch and sliding roof available. With box-type ladder frame chassis.The front suspension was independent, wishbones,longitudinal torsion bars with telescopic dampers at the rear rigid axle, swinging longitudinal trailing arms, transverse torsion bars, transverse linkage bar, and telescopic dampers, The distribution of weight: 60% front axle, 40% rear axle.
After the takeover by the Volkswagen factory , the Auto Union stopped in March 1966, the production of two-stroke cars finally. The SUV DKW Munga was built until December 1968 for the German Armed Forces . Due to the insufficient market success of the two-stroke engines, which were considered obsolete, the company was on the brink of insolvency.
