The pics are of the Auto Union Silver Arrow Type C. Offered performance that was breathtaking even by modern standards. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche, with a 6 liter supercharged V16 and a top track speed on the straights of 236 mph in 1937!

Imagine, all that hp through those tall skinny tires and flexy wire wheels. The shape kind of reminds me of the turbine races in the "Star Wars" movie. All engine, hold on and pray.
