An attempt with a conventionally styled vehicle, but again progressive due to the low frame with a low center of gravity and front-wheel drive, with a Benz 10/50 hp engine, built by the Deutsche Werke in Berlin, ended after two prototypes, one open, the other closed.
If they'd gone with an American Underslung style chassis and used the Benz engine things might be different today.

I like the competition.
