Nesselsdorfer Wagenbau-Fabriks-GesellschaftNW Rennzweier

The Double Racer is a race car manufactured by the Nesselsdorfer Wagenbau-Fabriksgesellschaft (NW), now Tatra, in 1900. It is sometimes also called First Racing, 12 HP, or Race Car. It was commissioned by Baron Theodor von Liebieg. Hans Ledwinka, the man behind the famous rear-engined Tatras, and at the time only 20 years old, helped in the production of the car. The car was designed and built in a five-week period in April and May 1900. The Rennzweier was the first car designed specifically for racing to be built in Central Europe.
