The story begins in 1957, when the VEMAG (Agricultural Vehicles and Machinery Inc.) brought the brand's first car to Brazil, based on the German model DKW F91.
However, DKW's trajectory goes back to 1917, in Germany, with the production of steam cars.
Initially, the acronym DKW meant “Dampf-Kraft-Wagen” (Steam Power Car).
Over time, engines gasoline gained space, and the acronym began to be translated as “The Little Wonder” (The Little Wonder), in allusion to the impressive performance of the engines two times.
In Brazil, the first model produced was the Vemaguet, which soon became the first national compact station wagon. The success was evident: only in 1957, were sold 1,166 units!
A mechanical simplicity of the DKW-Vemag models was one of the great attractions.
The engine front, with cycle of two times, three cylinders in line, It is water cooling, brought a unique solution: just seven moving parts!
Now it's your turn to revisit the past and celebrate this heritage that lives on in every car that crosses the roads or classic vehicle exhibitions.
Long live DKW-Vemag!
