Which Audi was Germany's first volume-produced left-hand-drive car?

The story behind the answer

The Audi Type K was Germany’s first volume-produced car with left-hand drive.

Audi introduced the Type K at the Berlin Motor Show in September 1921, and production began in 1922 at Audi’s Zwickau works. Its left-hand-drive layout was a significant departure in Germany, where right-hand drive was still common on many cars because of earlier motoring conventions.

The Type K, also known as the Audi 14/50, used a 3,560 cc four-cylinder engine producing 50 PS. It drove the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox and had a claimed top speed of 95 km/h. Audi offered several body styles, including a touring car, sedan and coupé-cabriolet.

Production lasted until 1925, with no more than about 750 cars built. The Audi Type M began production in 1924 as a larger successor. The Type K is sometimes confused with the Type M because the two overlapped briefly, but the Type K holds the left-hand-drive milestone.
