The second Me 209 design was a 1943 proposal by Willy Messerschmitt for a heavily modified Bf 109G, meant to compete with the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 and Ta 152 as an enhanced version of the Luftwaffe's primary fighter. Despite sharing a designation, it bore no relationship to the earlier Me 209 speed record aircraft. Because the Daimler-Benz DB 603A engine was in short supply, the team fitted a Junkers Jumo 213A instead, which forced changes to the engine cowling, cooling system and air intake, and the aircraft gained a new tail, wings, wide-track landing gear and an annular radiator. The V5 prototype carried an engine-mounted 30 mm MK 108 cannon and two 13 mm MG 131 machine guns, and the V6 was the first converted to the Jumo 213. When the V5 first flew in late 1943 it was 50 km/h slower than the Fw 190D and offered no better handling, and the project was cancelled.
