Devrim
Devrim was the first ever automobile designed and produced in
Turkey. In
1961, President
Cemal Gürsel ordered 24 engineers working in various companies, including Necmettin Erbakan, who became Prime Minister in the 1990s, to build a car fully designed and produced in Turkey. It was to be demonstrated during the Republic Day celebrations on
October 29,
1961.After four and a half months of hasty labour in the workshop, which later became the
TÜLOMSAŞ factory, the engineers managed to make four prototypes of the automobile. One was black, and the others were cream. It was named Devrim (the Turkish word for
Revolution).
