AFM, an acronym for Alex von Falkenhausen Motorsport, was a German automotive brand founded by former BMW engineer Alex von Falkenhausen in Munich. The company specialized in the production of sports cars and single-seater racing cars, achieving notable success in Formula 2 events during the years 1948 to 1950.
In 1951, AFM expanded its offerings by developing a prototype luxury coupé designed to accommodate four to five passengers. This vehicle was powered by a 2.2-litre six-cylinder engine sourced from the Opel Kapitan. The coupé featured a tubular frame and an all-independent suspension system, which were derived from the technology used in AFM's competition vehicles.
Despite its innovative designs and engineering prowess, AFM's production was limited, and the brand remains a niche name in the history of German automotive engineering.
