Microcar Movie - ride in a Messerschmitt KR200 (HD)

[@miles2015]

Actually managed to drive this exact car yesterday, the guy was very nice and taught me how to drive it. Thanks mate!

[@larryg.9187]

.....I was assigned to Germany, while in the Army back in '72 -'75 ... And I still have dreams when I see these cars again as I did on many occasions back then ... Wow..!

[@HobbyOrganist]

Neat little car! I wouldnt feel safe on American highways in it with traffic going 75-80 mph but for going around town or rural areas it would be fun. Thanks for taking us along on the drive!

[@PotatoGunsRule]

This thing looks like loads of fun. I would love to drive one.

[@MFE92]

"You don't have to steer it, you think it through corners...it's very direct". LOL. I love that. Yes, it's an arm connected directly to the tie rods, it hardly gets more direct than that!

[@shibbwun6761]

when i saw that first car on the right side of the road i almost shit my pants. I'm from US btw

[@binnieb20]

I love this car, it's what the "Pywackett Barchetta" from Daytona USA on the Dreamcast is based on.

[@noneovyerbusiness4909]

Someone should make a kit car version of these cars! They were too far ahead of their time.

[@raychambers3646]

A few years ago a company in the UK made fibreglass versions of the isetta and messerschmitt.

[@noneovyerbusiness4909]

@@raychambers3646 If i lived in the UK I'd look for one to buy. KRs are rare as hen's teeth and cost prohibitive here. I'd like to build one similar to an aluminium aircraft fuselage.

[@raychambers3646]

@@noneovyerbusiness4909 there was a guy who had an isetta in our town (glassfibre kit ) made into a hybrid ,and this was years ago before it was a thing to do.

[@jaybenny7719]

I would love one of these

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

Back in the 1970s, I owned two Messerschmitts. I never was able to get either of them roadworthy. You used to be able to pick them up for next to nothing, but now they are worth a small fortune. I also used to own a Nobel 200 which had the same Sachs engine as the Messerschmitt.

[@sanchesseli]

KR200 + electric engine = great car in 2020

[@olssong7941]

No

[@davegoldspink5354]

Bloody electric motor 🙄🙄🙄 and for a start where would you put batteries aside from destroying a classic. That’s the problem with the world today the mass delusion that EVs are going to save the world and give us zero emissions 😂🤣😂 yeah right!

これはまた素晴らしメッサーですね。風景に溶け込んでいます。

[@naajohnnorthcott8267]

One of those drivers who has to look at you when he speaks. The most terrifying part of the drive.

[@AchVap]

The inside looks like a Bf 109

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

Makes sense...

[@normg2242]

Same company...

[@apogaeum4313]

It's a Messerschmidt!

[@androidemulator6952]

Strange about zat. Veryy cherman

[@hansthegermansoldier7550]

Because its a wingless bf 109

[@peopletakepicturesofeachother]

1:09 The blue A-Class he pass by on the right of him is a great easter egg. I love different cars 😂

[@jeromewagschal9485]

Does it have safety belts ? Those things are surprisingly fast, I mean, 56 mph is really fast considering the small engine...

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

No, and they wouldn't protect you much anyway.

[@jeromewagschal9485]

@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 It's okay 🙂 I'll just put a couple of pillows in front of me... Visibility won't be so great but what the hell...

Excelente el vídeo! Felicitaciones por compartir una linda experiencia! Un icono de la ingeniería automotriz! Saludos, desde Argentina!

[@a.rodimtsev9446]

Really, super video. I wish I had bought one back in the days in Germany. Or an Isetta.

[@johnhetherington8830]

Nice example thanks

[@845raymond]

I want a modern one!

[@jordanthewizard]

Have you seen the movie Brazil?

[@donnovicki9771]

Claimed 123 mpg. You don't eata lot of gas with a 10 hp engine...Great ride.

[@konigreinhard8586]

Besser als Motorrad

[@sportster88]

I wonder what fuel mileage it gets with that 200cc Sachs 2 stroke engine?

[@superancientmariner1394]

I had 3 of them in my youth.....70+ /gallon was common.

[@noneovyerbusiness4909]

That's really remarkable for a two stroke engine! I imagine the light weight and excellent aerodynamics played a large part in achieving that efficiency.

[@superancientmariner1394]

Dunno about the aerodynamics but they were very light. .If you took a sharp corner too fast, you could tip and become a 2 wheeler . Mind you, that mileage came down as any weight was added....like a passenger. or guitar amplifier What the chap was saying about the price of them now., the 3 I had the cheapest I paid a tenner for and. the other 2 were less than £20/ This was the late 60s and you couldn't give them away.......wish I'd kept at least one of them..

[@scottastell9415]

Looks like fun. These should be reproduced as all electric urban vehicles.

[@davegoldspink5354]

NOTHING will ever beat the little Sachs 2 strokes that came out in these things.

[@Tom_Hadler]

I don't think you could see round that bend at 1:26 hmmm. But nice car anyway, bubble cars are the future, or at least they should be

[@lostmic]

I thought that was the guy's arm at first posted up against the door. I was like what's wrong with his arm? 😂🤣😂 Pfftt German ingenuity man lol

[@DonDon-ou7jt]

does it have an aircon?

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

The side windows slide open. It does have a heater.

[@honkforpeace007]

Man, careful, you´re driving on the wrong side

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

That’s Britain, they drive on the left.

[@raychambers3646]

Is there a wrong side if your sitting central?

[@honkforpeace007]

You took my comment for serious? Really? Thought British people got that special sense of humor...

[@raychambers3646]

@@honkforpeace007 we have that's why we drive these cars!

[@dennisyoung4631]

Yup, they’re in “Blighty,” so they drive on the left. Same for Oz, if I recall correctly. Germany drives on the right - I *think.*

[@PotatoGunsRule]

They had to. The victors of WW2 banned Germany from aircraft production for some time.

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

They weren't made by Messerschmitt, they were made by FMR.

i like this car but no car maker would like to make this kind of car anymore...

The Elios 3 wheeled car that is trying to get into production in USA appears heavily influenced by this car.
