Great technology and design, agreed, but there's nothing glorious into the days of III reich, when people were cooped, enslaved, subjected to medical experiments and finally killed
The streamliner, as driven by Rosemeyer, that is now on show in the Audi Centre Ingolstaadt is built around the V16 C-Type. There are 4 complete V12s in existence one of which is in the video
The Typ D was never V16 powered..only the Typ A, B and C were V16... in 1938 they changed the rule to 3.0l race cars which was the end for the 6.0l V16..it was replaced by this double Roots supercharged V12 with 478hp
You may have seen the mountainclimb car which has D-type suspension and similar chassis to a D type. This car however is fitted with a V-16 engine, it also sometimes ran with twin rear wheels fitted (see my website).
one of the best designed race cars ever!

My compliments to your V12 Auto Union, mr. sunrisemac.
I have the postwar baby version Auto Union with a quater of cylinders but as much fun. Anyway thanks for sharing, good luck with your grand-prix car.

There was at least one V12...saw it at Monterey Historics. Also, wasn't the Streamliner a 12 cyl?
