Model History

Duesen Bayern Mystar
Japanese spelling: 
The Mystar (translated: Master) was introduced in February 2002 and was the company's first car model. The exterior of the Mystar resembles that of the Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, and its interior is taken from the BMW Z3. At the first glance, the Mystar cannot be distinguished from the original, if not for its different bodywork dimensions, hence not considered under European law to be a copy. The bodywork of the Mystar is made out of fiberglass. The hood can be opened completely. The car is available with four- and six-cylinder engines which offers 140 to 231 hp, and in left- or right-hand drive.

Duesen Bayern Ritz
Japanese spelling: 
Technically based on the Nissan March, the Ritz resembles the old Fiat Nuova 500, but it has a bigger engine compartment. The small car is offered since June 2002 and it is available for approximately 1,500,000 ¥ in Japan and 15,500 €/£13,000 in Europe. In Japan there is a small network of dealers for Duesen Bayern vehicles.

Duesen Bayern Agnes
Japanese spelling: 
The Agnes is a sportier version of the Mystar.  The new model was introduced in May 2007. The interior and the engines are the same as in the Mystar.
