ETK name origins

what's the meaning behind the naming of ETK vehicles? what's the "K" in "ETK K-Series"? or the "I" in the I-series?

and especially what's the 800 in the 800-series???

in the files, the k-series is called "etkc" which i'm assuming means "etk coupe". but why K, why I, and why 800 is my question.

 

I-series because fuel injection. K-series because it's the closest one to C, which means coupe, but was likely already taken for another model. About 800, I don't know. It puzzles myself as well.

 

ETK:

Maybe because it's the 8th lineup?

 

I'm gonna find something which is German or just

Or they had just as much logic as 3-Series or C-Class behind them - rather arbitrary numbers and letters.

 

Easy.

Eyy
That’s
Kool

 

Also, ETK is an abbreviation for Ersatzteilkatalog (Spare Part Catalog).

 

Since German Engineering, I’d not be surprised if that’s it.

 

I-series was certainly named after fuel injection, just like E-class.

 

that actually is the confirmed official inspiration for the name

 

At some point ETK stood for "Einfluss Technik Kraften"
