68. IAA Frankfurt 2019 - Bitter CD Coupé Editorial Photo

The Bitter CD, a three-door hatchback coupe featuring a 227 hp 169 kW Chevrolet V8 with a 327ci displacement, was built between 1973-1979. The Bitter CD was displayed, with great success, at the 1973 Frankfurt Motor Show, where Erich Bitter took 176 orders for his stylish new coupe. However, the oil crisis at the time led to the cancellation of most orders. Despite this, production commenced later that same year at Baur GMBH. The target of 200 units/year was never realised and, in total, Bitter sold 395 units. The purchase price in 1974 was DM 58,400.
