History
Wanderer W25K
As part of the Auto Union consortium alongside Audi, DKW, and Horch, Wanderer produced the W25K as their sporting flagship in 1936. The 'K' designated the Kompressor (supercharger) that boosted the 2.0-liter inline-six engine to 65 hp, providing spirited performance. The elegant roadster bodywork featured flowing fenders and a raked windscreen typical of 1930s sports car design. The W25K competed successfully in touring car events and hill climbs, earning respect for Wanderer's engineering. Production was limited to approximately 200 units before the company focused on more practical models, making the W25K highly collectible today.
