Fascinating story and a Hero for saving this Beautiful Legend
Here before all the Latvians arrive.
Fantastic video, I have had a fascination with Audi history for awhile now and you have the best content on this platform. I am still driving a 1993 Audi 4.2L V8 as well. Thank you for all your uploads Cheers!
Wow great car! Enjoy!
Thanks for the fascinating video! Those Auto Unions were a handful to drive but were the most advanced racing machines of their time! Thanks also to Mr. Kulberg for saving this incredible piece of history!
Heartwarming story!
Another great exhibition in the museum is the VW speed record car, about 2 months ago there was also the Porsche exhibit which had cars designed by Anatolijs Kārlis Lapiņš including the 917k which he designed the livery for, 964 Carrera which was derived from his designs and the 928 which was his direct work. There were more but those are the highlights!
Great story, thanks! 👍💪✌️
Glad you enjoyed it!

They took it to learn, and they learned a shit :)
Typical for Soviets 😂
Isn't this the car designed by Ferdinand Porsche when he worked for Auto Union??
This would explain how on earth Auto Union, with limited experience, was able to build a race car that could defeat Daimler-Benz's Silberpfeil.
@@alicethegrinsecatz6011 yeah Porsche was responsible for both companies winning cars
Torsion bars in front, swing axles in back, just like a Beetle.
Yes and no, in this case. The type C was more or less all Porsche. In fact, the project that became the type C was something dr. Porsche worked on independently after he left Mercedes (where his last car was the SSKL - if you are gonna go, might as well go out by creating a legend…) and auto-union effectively bought the nascent design/prototype as a turn-key solution of sorts.
By 1937, dr. Porsche was busy turning napkin doodles into cars and thus the type was primarily overseen by Robert eberan von eberhorst. So in the instance of the C/D, the engine and general design philosophy of the car is all Porsche, but the actual chassis was designed by eberan von eberhorst, who most likely also oversaw the integration of the older engine into the newer chassis.
