After some successes in motorsport, Egon Brutsch launched into the manufacture of small cars using fiberglass and resin, innovative materials in 1950s Germany. The Pfeil, presented in 1956, had a minimalist body made of two half-shells and without doors. The car was equipped with a 13 horsepower Lloyd engine and was capable of a top speed of around 110 km / h. Only 8 units of the Pfeil were built.
