Gutbrod Superior

At the 1950 Frankfurt Spring Fair, the cabriolet was presented; the public, however, did not show much interest.

The "Superior-Sport", an expensive roadster with a Wendler body, was also less successful, despite being offered at a price of less than DM 8000.

In April 1954, the production of Gutbrod cars discontinued due running out of funds.

[1] Managed by Hans Scherenberg, Gutbrod cooperated with Robert Bosch GmbH and developed a mechanical petrol direct injection.

[3][4] The ponton body of the small notchback cabriolet saloon was mounted on a forward forked central tube frame.

[1] The vehicle has independent suspension, the front wheels were equipped with double control arms, coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers, in rear it had a pendulum axle, also equipped with coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers.

Experiments with front transverse leaf springs had not led to a satisfying result.

The model 600 had a longitudinally mounted, water-cooled two-cylinder two-stroke engine in front.

All models had a single-disc dry clutch, a nonsynchronised three-speed gearbox, and front-wheel drive.
