What if the most fuel-efficient car you could buy today was actually designed in 1956 with technology so simple it required mixing oil with gasoline like a lawnmower?
In this video, we explore the incredible story of the 1956 Lloyd Alexander TS, a German economy car that achieved an astounding 55 miles per gallon using just a 596cc two-stroke engine producing 25 horsepower. This revolutionary vehicle proved that extraordinary efficiency didn't require complex technology - just brilliant engineering, lightweight construction, and innovative front-wheel drive packaging that wouldn't become mainstream for decades. Discover how this humble car with vacuum-assisted brakes and a manual oil-mixing requirement managed to motorize post-war Germany while achieving fuel economy that puts modern hybrids to shame, and learn why its influence on automotive design extends far beyond its 176,000 production run.
