Goliath, a storied automotive brand, has a rich history that dates back to its inception in 1928 by founders Carl F. W. Borgward and Wilhelm Tecklenburg in Bremen, Germany. Initially famed for pioneering small cars equipped with advanced technologies, Goliath made a name for itself with the introduction of the Goliath GP700. This vehicle was revolutionary, featuring a front-wheel-drive system and a two-stroke engine, setting a precedent in the automotive industry during the early 20th century.

However, the journey through the automotive landscape has been turbulent for Goliath. By 1961, the company ceased manufacturing cars, transitioning its focus towards other ventures under the Borgward group. Despite its disappearance from the car manufacturing scene, Goliath’s early innovations left a lasting impact on automotive engineering, influencing design and technology in subsequent generations of vehicles.

Today, while Goliath no longer produces vehicles, its legacy is remembered for its daring innovations and the role it played in shaping early automotive technology. The brand’s historical significance continues to be celebrated by enthusiasts and historians, underlining its brief, yet impactful, mark on the automotive world.
