Thank you infinitely Guibo for this cool an rare article about a replica Auto Union Typ D. :D

I'm a big fan of Auto Union race car history, my favorite car is definitively the 1936-1937 Auto Union Typ C because of his 520hp sixteen-cylinder engine designed by Ferdinand Porsche. Without forgetting the awesome Auto Union V16 Type C Streamline 1937 which sets a top speed of 436.9 km/h ! :twisted:

400kph isnt anything special - unless you did it first. Go Audi/Auto Union!

thanks, this should be good :D
LOL, imagine one Veyron owner driving along at 400, and seeing the C scream by him

What about a 2000hp 500kmh Streamline to re-born the Auto Union brand?? :P :twisted:
That'd be awesome. Steal some thunder from VW/Bugatti (and Mercedes/Maybach's Exelero).
