Gräf & Stift C 12
The Graf & C pin 12 is a passenger car of the superclass from which the automobile company Graf & pen 1938 produced a prototype. The 12-cylinder car was to become the brand's top model, intended as a representative vehicle for the Austrian government. However, there was no longer any series production because Austria was attached to the German Empire.
The car had a side-controlled 12-cylinder V-engine (made by Lincoln in the USA) at the front, which drove the rear wheels via a 4-speed gearbox. It developed 110 hp (81 kW) at 3500 rpm. The maximum speed of the 2500 kg vehicle was 125 km / h.
The car was shown in May 2012 and again in May 2014 at the classic car fair in Tulln / Lower Austria.
