In 1958 the new Kapitan was presented, replacing the model produced since 1955. This version was wider and lower than the previous Kapitan, and was characterized by the panoramic windshield, similar to that of the contemporary Olympia / Rekord (the model was also known as the "P", aka "Panoramascheibe", i.e. panoramic windshield). The engine was the 2473cc 6-cylinder seen on the previous generation Kapitan, but with a few more horsepower (80 instead of 75). Production (June 1958-June 1959) counted about 35,000 copies, before the arrival of the P-LV model (1959-1963).
