nunca fue igualada la puesta a punto del motor..los componentes no son los mismos,al parecer el carburador del restaurado no es igual o no tiene las piezas originales...el original permitia un buen arranque cuando estaba lo suficientemente caliente..v 16..unos 570 hp

THE UNION CAR..320 a 340 kmh..0 a 60 en unos 4.5 seg

@searcherboy No helmet, no seat belt, no air-bag and no roll-bar would ever help in a crash at 270 mph.
In fact, it wouldn't even help at 70 mph really. Most crashes occur at significantly lower speeds, where (and only there!) those safety measures are effective.

Huge engines, high speed, skinny tires. No helmets, no roll bars. No wonder so many of the drivers were killed.

love the way it has a steering wheel like a bus and they are drifting them on skinny tires

And these cars were designed using a slide rule, no computers.
200 mph on such skinny rubber... those drivers must have needed porters to carry their gonads.

Rosemeyer died at ~271mph not 250mph .. in his first run he reached 433km/h and toped the Mercedes record from the morning of the same day of 432km/h.. on the way back he lost controll because of a heavy sidewind. Because Rosemeyers run was incomplete Mercedes holds even today the record for the fastest speed ever driven on a public road with 432km/h since 1938!!!!!
Befor F1 the race were simple called Grand Prix races..
