A truly great and historic car.
To: bruinbirdman
Cool story. Awesome cars!
To: bruinbirdman
Each car had a rear, three-litre engine providing 485 brake horse power. The power of some models was not equalled until the early 1980s and turbo-charged Formula One cars.
485 bhp for a car at that time in absolutely incredible.

In Germany, Audi is highest rated, above Mercedes and BMW.
Audi is the company which lives today from the line of companies which built this car.

"How does it steer?"
It is steered VERY carefully. It has a tendency to swap ends.

Audi is the parent company now, made up over decades from the previous companies.
The old campanies Auto Union, NSU and others have now become Audi AG.
Audi AG is mainly owned by Volkswagen, but supposedly Porsche might buy Audi or take a bigger ownership percent.

"The car's genesis dates back to the 1930s when Adolf Hitler provided the funds for two companies, Auto Union and Mercedes-Benz, to start producing racing cars..."
Proof that Hitler was a socialist.
