The 1958 DKW 3=6 looked like a modest family saloon, but its engineering was a quiet rebellion against four-stroke orthodoxy.

The two-stroke engine is mostly a piece of history today, but there was a time when some of the coolest developments in engine technology were two-cycle engines. Here’s how two-stroke technology rose ...
