History

The 1.9-liter car was complement by the big SR 2 as a more cheaper model .The car had a side-mounted 4-cylinder inline engine that was front mounted, that powered the rear wheels via a 4-speed gearbox. This engine developed 20 hp (14.7 kW) at 2000 rpm. The maximum speed of the vehicle was 80 km/h.

By 1926, the Gräf & Stift VK 2 was now  fitted with a 2-liter engine that made 30 hp (22 kW) at 2800 rpm and accelerated  to 90 km / h.

By 1930, the series was discontinued after around 800 cars built.
