Why it matters

The Steyr 100 was a small four-door car of the mid-1930s. Its pressed-steel platform frame and independent suspension on all four wheels were, according to the source, unusual for the period. Its reputation rests largely on early long-distance drives used in Steyr's publicity.

02Production & history

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

No production figures recorded yet.

History

Steyr introduced the 100 in 1934 as its small car, with four doors and a fairly roomy body. On 22 September 1934 a Steyr 100 was the first car to cross the Grossglockner high Alpine road while it was still under construction. In 1935 Max Reisch drove a Steyr 100 across Asia and then round the world, which the source treats as a major publicity event.

Up to 1936 a total of 2850 cars were built in the saloon, two-door cabriolet and chassis variants, plus 150 Steyr 110 delivery vans.
