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.

The only practical application for an axle set higher above the ground than the chassis are those MRAP vehicles with a V-shaped hull.
