Austrian arms manufacturer Steyr turned carmaker after WWI, merging in 1935 with Austro-Daimler to create the Steyr-Daimler-Puch combine. Steyr did not resume production of its own cars after WWII, instead manufacturing FIATs under licence for the Austrian market. In 1957 Steyr started making the Nuova 500 but used its own horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine in preference to the FIAT original, and this model would ultimately evolve into the 660cc 650TR II.
