The P100 adopted a structural approach similar to the existing Borgward Isabella, incorporating an integral chassis. Its 2.24-liter straight-six engine was derived from the one used in earlier Borgward six-cylinder sedans, including the most recent model, the Borgward Hansa 2400 Pullman. Advertised performance figures included a power output of 75 kW and a top speed of around 161 km/h. Contemporary promotional materials emphasized the car's groundbreaking self-leveling air suspension.

During its nineteen months of production, the P100 saw over 2,500 units produced, positioning it to outperform earlier six-cylinder Borgward models in the marketplace. However, the bankruptcy of Borgward in August 1961 led to the cessation of P100 production.
