    Founded in 1963 , by Mark Baiern Wissen, who used to build military planes in his early 20s, he decided to start a car company in his late 50s.
    With more than 30 year in mechanics and architecture, building a car from scratch wasn't a huge headache for him, especially because he got help from Porsche, wich would make a appearence later in the Baiern Lore.

    The first model (S2500) proved to be semi-succesfull, because it got used by asian politicians, and other important people at the time.

    Baiern is also known for their amazing sportscars, because of their driving performance and reputation in motorsports (Gr.a , Fomula Diesel, etc.)

    In 2008, "Project 8" was shown at Geneva Motor Show, showing revolutionare all around pushrod suspension, a 830 horspower Biturbo engine and a ultra light aluminiun body.
    Altough Baiern was having a crisis in 2013, they still decided to release and build the 89,995$ the Baiern Turbo Speed-8. Having a 4.5 liter V8, with 600 horsepower. They built 1247 units, 4 of them being racecars (soon) , and 1 being a gold coated, not a good decision at the time.
    This one comes in the special "Midnight Purple" color, only featured in 39 cars. Resale values of the Speed-8 go up to 350,000 euros, depending on the variant.




    The body was patented from Porsche, elongated, and optimized for the 600 HP / 700NM ground shaking V8
