The Wanderer W 22 is a car of the middle class of the brand Wanderer 2-liter six-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive . The Auto Union presented him in 1933 as a larger version of the Wanderer W 21 with 1.7 liter engine in front. Both were developed as Porsche Type 7 in Ferdinand Porsche's design office in Stuttgart. The W 22 was on the market as a four-door sedan and two-door convertible (four windows). In addition, there was the four-seater touring car from 1934 . By 1935, the Auto-Union plant in Siegmar near Chemnitz had produced 5,355 vehicles, including 2,010 chassis, which glasses in Dresden provided with the convertible body,

The W 22 has the same engine as its predecessor W 20 (8/40 hp) , but an improved low-frame chassis with a rigid front axle and torsion bar suspension on the same wheelbase ; At the rear a "swing axle" ( pendulum axle ) with transverse spring is installed, which Porsche had designed based on its designs at Steyr . Instead of the mechanical cable brake of the W 20, there was a hydraulically actuated "oil pressure brake" from ATE (license Lockheed ).

The overhead in - line engine with side camshaft ( spur gear drive ) developed by Porsche in 1931 has a displacement of 2 liters and an output of 40 hp. The rear wheels are driven via an unsynchronized four-speed gearbox with a shift lever in the middle of the car.

In 1935 the name of the same car was Wanderer W 240 . The limousine only had four windows, the convertible only two.

Auto Union presented the successor Wanderer W 40 with front independent suspension ( double wishbone with transverse spring) but otherwise identical in construction; The touring car was discontinued in 1937.
