Vintage Photos Of Two-Faced German Microcar ZNdapp Janus From The Late 1950S !

Zndapp was a German manufacturer of motorcycles that was founded in 1917. Zndapp collaborated with Porsche in the development of the Volkswagen car and after WWII the company manufactured one car of its own, the Zndapp Janus. Zndapp closed due to bankruptcy in 1984. The company began as a producer of detonators, but diversified in the 1920s into designing and manufacturing motorcycles. They sold many successful models, several of which were used by the German Wehrmacht. In 1931, Zndapp worked with Ferdinand Porsche on the development of the Volkswagen prototype. After the war, Zndapp continued to produce motorcycles, scooters and mopeds. In 1957, Zndapp produced their first and only car, the Janus. This was a microcar, often referred to as a bubble car. Zndapp had commissioned Claude Dornier, an aircraft designer, to design a futuristic bubble car in 1954. It was originally called the Delta, but the name was changed to Janus after the Roman god who faced both forwards and backwards. The Zndapp Janus had front and rear windscreens, with the driver and front passenger sitting on a bench seat facing forwards and the rear passengers seated the opposite way at the back, looking at the road already driven on. Just under seven thousand models were produced between 1957 and 1958. 0:00 - Intro ❤️Music❤️ DreamHeaven -    / @dreamheaven   ❤️Subscribe❤️ ?sub_confirmation=1 ❤️About Us❤️ Old Times Photos Revives past stories that need to be shared with You.
