Messerschmitt KR200 (1958)

The Messerschmitt KR200 is an exceptionally unique vehicle, serving as an excellent example of post-World War II automotive revival. It was manufactured in Germany in 1958 and is distinguished by its three-wheeled design, which not only makes it distinctive but also provides easy maneuverability on the road. Despite its 9.9 horsepower engine, which may not be particularly powerful, it proved sufficient for efficient urban commuting.

It was designed by Fritz M. Fend, a former Luftwaffe officer and aeronautical engineer. Its predecessor was the Messerschmitt Kabinenroller KR175, but the KR200 featured a new suspension system, including shock absorbers, an updated chassis structure, improved engine mounting, larger tires, and modernized control mechanisms. Additionally, this model had the capability to reverse, and it achieved this without a dedicated reverse gear in the transmission; instead, the engine's rotation direction was reversed to enable backward motion.
