In its heyday, it employed 23,000 people. More than one million vehicles rolled off its production lines. Now, after a hiatus lasting more than half a century, one of the most revered names in the German car industry, Borgward, is back.

It's an unprecedented event in automotive history and represents the culmination of more than a decade's worth of groundwork by Christian Borgward, grandson of the legendary company founder Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Borgward, and the industrial Executive Karlheinz L. Knöss. "Inspired by my grandfather's example, we believe that, given the will to succeed, you can achieve anything", Christian Borgward says, as he presents his 21st century vision for this most remarkable of car companies. "We are rolling out Borgward cars that are worthy of the name because they are luxurious, inventive, and bold. Just like those of my grandfather."
