KTM made cars before making bikes

Explanation

KTM was founded in 1934 as a repair shop and dealership for DKW motorcycles and Opel cars in Mattighofen, Austria — the name stands for Kraftfahrzeug Trunkenpolz Mattighofen, after founder Hans Trunkenpolz. It did not begin building its own vehicles until 1951, with the development of its first motorcycle, the R100. KTM's first sports car, the X-Bow, was not introduced until 2008, more than half a century later.
