Description
In 1897, DMG introduced a new generation of motor cars which were the first Daimler automobiles to feature a front-mounted engine. These represented the first important step away from the belt-driven motor carriage to the modern automobile.
Initially, the tried-and-tested two-cylinder Phoenix engines with 6 and 8 hp were available. Although already in use in the belt-driven cars, the engines gave their name to the new models which were consequently known as the Phoenix cars.
In September 1898, DMG supplied Emil Jellinek with the world's first two road-going cars with four-cylinder engines. These were Phoenix cars too, as they were both fitted with an 8 hp, 2.1-liter four-cylinder in-line engine of the Phoenix design. In the course of 1899, further versions with 12, 15, 20 and finally 23 hp were added.
