Bernd Rosemeyer und die Auto Union Stromlinie - Tribute

[RRVCrinale]

The Audi Rosemeyer needs to exist as a car to sell.

And it needs to look like the Stromlinie. Not like the Rosemeyer concept from a while back, but the Stromlinie: the clean lines, the arches, the back that looks like it could be a huge-ass diffuser...

I'd accept no other tribute for the man than that. Audi, you have the resources. Who cares if it means you're elbowing for room with VW and the Bugatti Veyron? Do it!

I would like the spark plug box at 1:25.

da bekommt der begriff ich bin gleich auf hundfertachtzig" eine neue bedeutung xD

[videoCHERUBINO]

Gerne hätte ich einmal eine Oldtimerfahrt zur historischen Auto Union AG Konzernzentrale in Chemnitz organisiert. Das heute leer stehende Gebäude verwalte ich. Immerhin wurden da die legendären Silberpfeile entwickelt.

Nazi symbol at 2:10  lol

That´s the great things about nazis, they made great cars and tecnology about everything! Just take a look on nazi scientist like Wernher von Braun, he put the man on the moon!

[Jeansschwimmer]

@MarcioBortolotto as soon as they could keep "politics" out of their heads, they were able to achieve a lot in the field of art and technology. Ideology would only put the brakes on everything, though the Nazis claimed any success for themselves. This ignorance is the topic of present discussion on any of them: writers, musicians, actors, sportsmen, pilots, engineers...

[MarcioBortolotto]

@Jeansschwimmer - Ideology helped in this case. Others ideologys close to the nazys, others totalitarians regimes, but just the nazis reach this level. They were 25 years ahead minimun in tecnology, well, in everything.

[Jeansschwimmer]

@MarcioBortolotto You are neither not knowing what you say or you talk yourself into believing that stuff. Have you got any idea how deep that "braindrain" was for Germany that the Nazis caused? Half of the German intelligence was forced into exile! Einstein was just one name that anybody knows. even during the war many things got developed secretly because the "Greatest Fieldcommander of all Ages" had forbidden any development that was not ready for the front within 180 days.

[Marauder1981]

You should use that line for a song! ;)

[12valvepower1]

you had to be barking mad. to drive these cars at the limit. just barking mad

[Jeansschwimmer]

@12valvepower1 no spoilers held themon the raod at higher speeds, that is why Rosemeyer's car was virtually lifted by a gust of wind and flew off the road.

brakind system and steering were primitive: even with leather gloves the race pilots had bloody hands after a race.

[andylady1988]

Das sind in meinen Augen richtige Rennfahrer gewesen, wenn man die heutige Formel 1 anguckt, furchtbar.....................­......

[44SirLoopalot]

Aha, du mußts ja wissen!

Schließlich biste ja ein international anerkannter Experte und sicher selber ein weitaus besserer Rennfahrer als die Loser von heute, gelle?!? Hast Du auch irgendein Argument dafür oder laberst Du nur den anderen "Früher war alles besser_Deppen " nach?

[Maggo309]

Einer der allergrößten. Mit 400 Sachen in den 30ern über die Autobahn ist einfach gigantisch!!!!

[12valvepower1]

im der englischer bitte? could someone translate for me?

[Jeansschwimmer]

@12valvepower1 hi, what exactly do you want translated? write to me.

[12valvepower1]

he gave his life, going faster than anyone else.. what a impressive feat. sad end.. truly died as a hero to the cause.

[ac45green]

Those cars weren't just a step forward, they were a giant leap forward. They are still some of the best looking cars of all time.

[maskerader]

Wow, it's great.

[StingrayZO6427]

oh my god. No words need to be spoken to understand the beautiful history of these racing machines, their beauty, performance and incredible legacy. The cars speak for themselves. RIP Bernd Rosemeyer, you are still sorely missed to this day.

[markpde]

The fellow being interviewed, Bernd Rosemeyer Jr, was born just a few weeks before his father was killed in the streamliner. And the girl in the headscarf at 1.30 and 2.40 was Elly, Bernd Jr's mother and Rosemeyer's widow, who passed away in December last year, aged 100!

[icebird1961]

wundebare Sache - Bernd was hte FIRST man, who di more the 400 km/h on a the street in a car - as a matter of fact: the day he died, he set a new absolute world-Speed record by 433 km/h !!! over 71 year ago !!!

[sbchelldiver]

Now that is one beautiful monument!Woul somebody please tell where is it?Again a very beautiful and very striking monument!

[AyrtonSennaGODsPilot]

i don't know but i'm guessing it might be at a auto union memorial and museum somewhere in germany - it would be great to see - the cars were way ahead of their time!

[DrRodMunch]

It was at the Audi stand at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2006, think it was also exhibited at Le Mans 2007

[Faszinationoldtimer]
