In 1966, I had a friend in high school who drove one of these. He pulled into a gas station one time with the tailpipe blowing smoke as usual. The station attendant warned him that the car was burning a lot of oil. My friend replied: "God ,I sure hope so".
My wartburg had much higher rpms. Weber carburettor transistorized ignition and electric benzin pump. holes in pistons were enlarged and more compression....
DKW Auto Union , built a plant in Santa Fe Argentina in 1963 , they made thousands of those for many years , 4 doors , station wagons , even light trucks and kombi vans the 1000 s was the last series made , agile and economical even for a 2 stroke , no water pump, my uncle had one , we knew when he was coming!.
My wife and I owned one of these back in the late 80's - it was a cool car. The original owner tracked me down and bought it back off me. I sold it cheap but it was going to a good home to be restored.
Everyone who doesnt believe is wrong! It has 3 cylinders and the DKW is much faster than a VW Käfer! We have both, so I really say the truth :P And the racetrack is the Heidbergring in northern Germany, near Hamburg. The event takes place once a year at a september weekend, is organized by the Autounionveteranenclub and is called "AbDKWen". Greetings from Germany :)
When I was 18 years old I had an Auto Union 1000 S for Touring Car Races (Anexo J in my Country) in the class fromm 850cm3 to 1150cm3, the car was an extraordinary car!!! top speed of 160km/h ,compression ratio 9:1, and 6000rpm maximum!!!!.. year was 1967, by the way I had and still have the VDO rev counter identical to the one used in Martin Hesse´s coupe 1000. I love this two stroke engine, my father raced with Auto Union in 1961 and 1962 and was a real enthusiast of the DKW!!!!!.., thanks for sharing!!!..
I remember driving 200 miles with my dad in one of these and getting pulled over by the cops 3 times because they had never heard anything like it before, one of them even rode with us for a while. 120mph and screaming like a banshee. Great cars :) Great vid, really brings back memories :)
Ring-a-ding-ding-ding-a-ringa-ding. Bloody horrible sound but typical 2 stroke. The only 2 stroke that sounds halfway decent is the Detroit diesels, V-12 units the best.
@@larryhutchens7593 As someone who baby sat them for 17+ years ( sometimes 3 running at 1800RPM at the same time along with a 6-71driving a generator), I'd rather have our DKW back.
***** Cameras/video makes everything seem much slower than it really is. Also, the exhaust pipe is connected "directly" to the thin body, amplifying the sound inside the car.
Awesome Foursome... I had four these fantastic cars from 1967 on wards... I miss them a lot... I could just about stand in the engine compartment and fix anything thats wrong.... U don't get cars like that anymore... Its a crying shame... Hahaa...
Some nice looking F102's there, I see. My dad bought one new in, I think, 1964, and it could go like the clappers despite the questionable interpretation of its oil requirements in those days in New Zealand. It was on Conti cross-plies, and I have no doubt that modern synthetic 2-T lube and radial tyres would transform it, had it still been around. It was by far the sweetest revving engine I remember.
AHHHH how SWEET IT IS! Martin, thanks for the BLISS you gave me, a huge 2 stroke fan! That old DKW SINGS! Only reinforces my (well deserved!) hatred for the worthless 4-stroke design! YES all cars should sound like this--and GO like this! I have a '68 Saab 96---and it has a DKW-built 850cc triple, and it sounds like this! Gets super mileage and never needs oil changes! The Germans RULE with those wonderful 2 strokers! Ditto on British 'strokers! I have a few of those too! FOREVER 2 STROKE!!!!
+4nuk8r rotaries have multiple cycles happening at the same time, which allows them to be a 4 cycle engine, even though they fire every rotation like a 2 stroke (and exhaust & intake every cycle, which is part of the reason they sound similar). low compression ratios don't usually decrease pumping efficiency enough to cause studdering at low throttle, but many rotaries that are built for racing have very large ports (analgous to a 4 stroke engine with high-lift cams), which results in low air speed when throttled down = not good air/fuel mixing = not firing consistently = studdering.
its a family car but this is how its supposed to be driven, like really if you don´t beat the shit out of the engine this things will locked up in minutes. This is why i love this 2 stroke engines
Es emocionante el sonido de DKW / 2T. Especialmente cuando le pisas el gas de 0 al máximo ; era niño ,cuando conocí las furgonetas de Auto Unión. Hay que prestar atención al engrase en altas revoluciones ,un concepto delicado.
At the age of 14 { car lover , but ignorant } a man gave me a DKW with no title. I took the body off and built a full roll cage. I drove it off road as a dune buggy for 2 years. No one could catch me ! As a restorer 40 years later , I wish I had the car ! It was a fiberglass body , convertible. 3 cyl. 2 stroke , air cooled . What did I have ?
jr johnston What model DKW was it? I'm sure the 3=6 and the Junior had liquid cooling with the radiator behind the engine and the fan driven by the prop-shaft? (?)
Fantastico - fantástico..ouvir este DKW . é voltar no tempo...e sentir mutia emoção...meu apiu tenha uma Vemaguet e viajavamos muito..o ronco é o mesmo...subindo a serra de Santos nossa..vinha fritantando a embreagem e pisando no fundo...congratulations Martin...eu como harleyro tiro o chapeu para este velho..auaauh 2 stroke Douglas
love the sound, and feeling the power, is that occasional clutch slipping or is it lifting a wheel and "breaking loose" around the second corner of the "s" bend where all the people are watching, either way, it would flog the little suzuki 550cc two stroke triples in the four wheel drives we used to get in australia. we wont even mention the 350 twins before that.
I wish vehicular 2 stroke technology would have continued to progress. imagine what a modern fuel injected computer controlled incarnation would sound like, I bet you'd be seeing 200hp 2 liters, and even more with some forced induction.
and they never made large 2 stroke engines, the largest they made was like a 1.5 liter i believe? anyways from the specs i saw on this one 2 stroke dirt bike, i think it was 700cc producing 80hp, in that case a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder 2 stroke naturally aspirated would produce about 320 hp, thats more hp than a 3 liter six cylinder turbocharged 335i bmw. with direct injection, a good catalytic converter/emission controlled engine, high quality exhaust system it will be quiet and pretty efficient.
Motor 2 tiempos? Vaya, interesante! El sonido del motor me recuerda al del rotativo. Estos son carros que nunca conocí y, ni creo que los conozca en real. A mi padre le he oído hablar de ellos
no revlimiter means reving more than the engine componants can handle and now when this is a racingcar it may be needed to rev as mush as possible without blowing the engine up
It would be great, but extremely unlikely... It has completely disappeared from road bikes industries and and only remains on off road bikes :/ BUT GOD, HOW GOOD IT IS! :D
almost like it had the low end torque of a 4 stroke but was the nicest sounding 2 stroke i ever heard. almost sounded like the dirt bike that one kid in terminator 2 rode which the sound was modified by the movie makers, only my friends scooter actually sounded like that in reality.
If You own a DKW 1000 S or F 102, put off the Saxomat 2-Stroke Oil pump and use Self Mixing Oil. - During Racing events its an option to use Castrol R oil with its special 'smell'. - Delicious! Do not forgot to clean the petrol system afterwards! Otherwise the Oil will dismix and sample itself at the bottom of the tank!

Saab, Wartburg and DKW used similiar 1000ccm 3 cylindre two- strokes.
Realy nice sound
My wartburg had much higher rpms. Weber carburettor transistorized ignition and electric benzin pump. holes in pistons were enlarged and more compression....

I think I re-watch this at least twice a month.. Love that sound.

What is the torque curve like for road racing? Is it controllable?
Three ignition coils- one for each cylinder, correct or what?

2 stroke... sounds like melody!
that's a pretty messed up Melody...

@@larryhutchens7593 no. The best 2 stroke sound is a Honda cr500. That's an eargasm

@@larryhutchens75932 strokes sound really good way better than a 4 stroke
I love how slow they are compared to how fast they sound.
***** Cameras/video makes everything seem much slower than it really is. Also, the exhaust pipe is connected "directly" to the thin body, amplifying the sound inside the car.
They're a bit on the heavy side tbh... the engine never was a big thing but it did what it should, move the car. It was a post-war sedan.
It passed som of the modern cars on the track
Actually they're not too bad! Their performance was that of a beefed up wartburg
Screams slow down when taken for a drive.
Old School Euro 2 strokes, long stroke Schnurle power. Love that triple howl.
2 stroke DKW!!!!... "the sound of the Gods"!!!, Oh how I miss this car!!!!!.. greetings from Argentina!!!...,Thanks for sharing this video!!!!..

It's engine works very smooth and clear on hight RPM. Super!
Every 2stroke ever
Aprendi dirigir num dkv aos 13 anos é shouuuu👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Peguem a tradução em portuguēs e adios gringos
i didn t expected so much nice sound, i really enjoyed it!!!
With a gutted expansion chamber exhaust so sweet
Blow off vetts at steetlight. Good for 1 block
Just found this old video. Beautiful car,great sound and driver and car make it look easy
Love the damn sound man! 2 strokes for life
2 Stroke is love...
...2 Stroke is life!
If you could only hear the sound you would immediately think its some 1000+ hp racecar. But it's this epic old car :D
Martin is our parts dealer of many years now, but obviously I asked for the wrong parts so far... 🙂

Nothing beats the sound!
You gotta love DKW 2 strokes
2 stroke sound maybe annoying for some but it's like music to my ear ...
2 stroke engines are the best engine I absolutely love the saund of a 2 stroke
I can't be the only one who thinks it sounds like a 20b Rotary.
+titleguy1 No, you can't... I think so too xD
and it makes around 100hp (I think) like the 10a
***** yeah i forgot....
+titleguy1 That's because every rotor is equivalent to a two stroke cylinder.
+4nuk8r rotaries have multiple cycles happening at the same time, which allows them to be a 4 cycle engine, even though they fire every rotation like a 2 stroke (and exhaust & intake every cycle, which is part of the reason they sound similar). low compression ratios don't usually decrease pumping efficiency enough to cause studdering at low throttle, but many rotaries that are built for racing have very large ports (analgous to a 4 stroke engine with high-lift cams), which results in low air speed when throttled down = not good air/fuel mixing = not firing consistently = studdering.
Fantastic little track! Must be great for testing handling. Oh and the car is brilliant!
its a family car but this is how its supposed to be driven, like really if you don´t beat the shit out of the engine this things will locked up in minutes. This is why i love this 2 stroke engines
My father’s friend had one , with suicide doors. It was distinguished by the engine bubbling sound. Marvellous masterpiece
He gets some good shifts in the powerband up the straightaway
I have to drive one of these. That sound is probably the best I've ever heard.

Such a gorgeous sound.
Very few people know but the DKW was a masterpiece of German engineering
Flat out on 3rd gear and you are in heaven.
its a pity they stopped making them.
Dreizylinder und 2-Takt klingt einfach herrlich...
I didn't knew there was any 1000cc 2 stroke, that sound like fucking overkill xD
It still is so fucking awesome. And that sound... so awesome!
Es ist wunderschön, wie es geht und klingelt!
Bravo, great business, you made my day with this video. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

Das Kleine Wunder - TRULY :) !
What a nice ride! it goes like hell!
2 strokes sound so good.
AHH I enjoyed this like if I was in the car !!,, you were getting faster in every lap , great fun !!.
Sounds like the Gods of car sounds! My cuz has a highly ported F12, now that can go, easily pulls my bike and cars twice the cc's
very good brother ! Fantastic car .
SAAB 2-stroke engines are DKW engines built under licence, so yes.
I want this car!!!!!!
HERMOSO AUTO TUVE UNO Y SON UNA MARAVILLA SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA
endlich mal wieder ein anständiges Zweitakter-Video !!!!
Fantastico - fantástico..ouvir este DKW . é voltar no tempo...e sentir mutia emoção...meu apiu tenha uma Vemaguet e viajavamos muito..o ronco é o mesmo...subindo a serra de Santos nossa..vinha fritantando a embreagem e pisando no fundo...congratulations Martin...eu como harleyro tiro o chapeu para este velho..auaauh 2 stroke Douglas
Holy shit that sounds amazing
i love that 2 stroke sound
this is the coolest shit ever
superb sound! love it!
Cus they sound cool! You can't help but smile when you hear it! (I am a very big fan of VW lived with em all my life.)
Very cool, sounds like it runs great!
wowww nice sound...I will buy it for the sound😮
love the 2stroke sound
A friend had a Saab 96 he used to race (same engine?) fantastic fun sounded like a Kawasaki triple with expansion chambers.
I love 2 stokes
Beautiful sound! Better than my popcorn maker.

sounds like my yamaha blaster. Love my two stroke.
Sound's like rotary engine , which is an eargasm!
I wish vehicular 2 stroke technology would have continued to progress.
imagine what a modern fuel injected computer controlled incarnation would sound like, I bet you'd be seeing 200hp 2 liters, and even more with some forced induction.
Starker 2-Takt Sound! Das gefällt mir!😉😊
Eu tinha uma vemeguet 62 e um amigo uma 65. Descíamos Grumari, Alto e Joá. Era uma maravilha! Isto em 68/69!!!
Das war eine kleine Rennmaschine 😀
That was a small racing-car 😅

AQUI NO BRASIL TAMBÉM TEM IDÊNTICO AO ESSE / MUITO RARO MAIS TEM NA MÃO DE COLECIONADORES ...
São Paulo Belenzinho 🇧🇷muito bom.! O ronco 2 t é bom demais pilotagem também 👏
Sounds like a motorcycle 😂😂
Anyways, LOVE that sound !
It would be great, but extremely unlikely... It has completely disappeared from road bikes industries and and only remains on off road bikes :/
BUT GOD, HOW GOOD IT IS! :D
oh my god, I need one. NOW
3 cylinder 2 stroke... nuf said
i love 3cylind cars and motors - i own 2x 3cyl diesel engines - they sound awesome with out a muffler or cat converter and not to loud either
Parece a estrada da graciosa no paraná! indo de Curitiba a Antonina!! cheia de curvas!! adrenalina total!! muito bom o vídeo da estrada pelo menos.
Ahhh! 2 stroke! Aproved by Greta!
almost like it had the low end torque of a 4 stroke but was the nicest sounding 2 stroke i ever heard. almost sounded like the dirt bike that one kid in terminator 2 rode which the sound was modified by the movie makers, only my friends scooter actually sounded like that in reality.
The best video DKW!!!!
who cares about power... It's a classic
I've heard the engines related to the SAAB 2 strokes and/or the Barkas. True?
its the same engine
Fast wie im Trabi, Lenkrad Schaltung, 2 Takter Musik. OK, der Kleene hat bissel mehr Bums. Grins. Schönes Auto.
Demais como anda!!!!
Good driving
I have driven one. They are FUN.
😂 my Dad had a DKW Junior little thing was fast!
sweet car. interesting shifter.
Lindo ronco desse motor dois tempos mas numa viagem longa cansa os ouvidos..kkkkkkkk

That motor has so much more to give, comeone let it realy roar on the high rpm!!!
Fantastic video. First car I had on the road, but fitted with a 1500cc BMC mgA engine.
a cuantas rpm llega? y que trabajo tiene hecho el motor? con el 2t tenes para jugar un rato largo con la lima y el comparador
omg amazing sound love it!
there is one 4-stroke lover in the audience!
love it, fuck the emissions!
Very good, i like! show!
