Model chronicle

Duesen Bayern Mystar

The Mystar is the brand's first model. With its exclusive interior from the BMW Z3, ​​it is the brand's top model. The exterior, on the other hand, was based on a Mercedes-Benz 190 SL . At first glance these cannot be distinguished. However, if the counterpart is next to it, the different dimensions are clearly visible. The body is made of fiberglass. The front end consists of one part and can be opened completely. There is a choice of different four- and six-cylinder engines from BMW in four-valve technology with outputs between 103 kW (140 PS) and 170 kW (231 PS) as well as right-hand or left-hand drive. The Mystar has been in production since February 2002.
