This is the only surviving original Auto Union Silver Bullet. It was saved from being crushed at the Zil car factory in Moscow in the 70's by Viktors Kulbergs ,the president of the only antique car club in the Soviet Union ,based in Riga ,Latvia. It's thanks to him ,and the lady from the car factory who called him for help ,that this car exists today. A bit of credit where credit is due!
@@vilhjalmrwt Welcome to Europe - cars aren't cosseted and kept in cotton-wool. They're driven - occasionally very hard indeed. Check Goodwood for cars such as Ferrari GTO actually racing and giving (and being given) no quarter whatsoever.
@@pauldailey4477 How do you know? Where do you get your information that you seem so sure about? From up your bum? Write to Audi, if you doubt me. Ask about the history of the 1939 Type C/D Hillclimb car, and how it came to survive. Then apologise.
Neither V16s nor supercharging were new in 1939. Marmon produced the first V16 some 12 years earlier, while Cadillac's V16 was sold from 1930. Americans were also (among the) first with supercharging, in 1908. What was new about the Auto-Union was its mid/rear-engined layout, which gave it great traction for hill-climbs, but was problematically tail-happy.
@Shane Norman - The Cadillac V16 had less horsepower (165) than my fuel injected 2 liter 2002 SVT Focus(170)! No other manufacturer in the world had a racing machine like the Auto-Union from a raw power standpoint - 550 HP was unheard of then. Yes, it was tail-happy but with that power and even dual, skinny little bias ply tires, the driver was doing a lot of work keeping it under control. Hans Stuck mastered it better than anyone for hill climbing earning him the nickname "Hans im Gluck" or lucky Hans, as he slid his powerful V16 around dirt corners with straight drops down the mountain!
Ran into Stuck in the garages at Laguna Seca the weekend he was driving the Trans Am Audi 200 Quattro. Quite a character; he was all too glad to sign the photo of his car belching flames down the Corkscrew.
Une mécanique vivante, un bruit envoûtant, comme les anciennes motos, on ressent toutes les vibrations, l'odeur de l'essence et les gaz d'échappement qui reviennent sans cesse vous piquer le nez. Lorsque vous la quittez, vous l'avez dans la tête, les oreilles, cela pendant un bon moment.
Imagine being Herr Stuck, and you get "the call". A video is being done with the Auto Union. Interested? He's probably out the door vefore they finish asking, lol. Thanks for this video. Great machine and legendary driver. There was a corner where I thought he was having trouble with the transmission. I realised he was making sure it was in the RIGHT gear. Taking good care of a priceless machine.
Love the huge tac on the dashboard. Nothing beats a mechanical tac dancing as you go thru the gears. Miss that on my old Ducati. I know, today’s instruments are far superior and so are the mechanics / machines in every way. Still like some old items.
A lot of power/torque out of that 6L engine, especially sans all the electronic optimising systems we have today. Must be quite a beast to tune correctly. Great vid and thanks for sharing. Glad to see the car being used and driven respectfully - not too many of these left I would imagine. Cheers from Oz - Dave
Damals war das Kraftsport! Arme und Beine arbeiteten hart! Die Reifen waren auch noch nicht das was sie heute sind! Sagenhaftes Auto! Respekt vor den Fahrern damals!
@@Thomas_Bergel Das was die Fahrer damals leisten mussten war sehr viel anstrengender und Kraftraubender. Keine Servolenkung, unsynchronisiertes Getriebe, starrer Durchtrieb und die Kühlwasserrohre für den 16 Zylinder verliefen neben dem Fahrer im Bodenbereich. Was natürlich während der Fahrt kochend heiß war. Und das bei Vollgas bei mindestens 250 km/h. Diese Jungens saßen auf dem Tank der weder Doppelwandig oder gar Bruchfest war. Scheibenbremse🤣? Vergiss es ganz schnell, die hatten Trommelbremsen die immer glühend heiß wurden. Und heute? Da kannst du einen trainierten Affen reinsetzen weil die Karren alles selbst machen. Von den kleinen Helferlein angefangen bis zur Schaltung wird alles elektronisch unterstützt! Das konntest du bei den alten Wagen vergessen! Das waren Helden. Ob nun Rosemeier oder Stuck.
I look at stuff like that and wonder if only tire technology was at the same point engine technology was at the time, so the cars actually had grip. Power wasn't an issue, that figured that one out. But trying to get it to the ground was another story. Very cool. It must be quite a thrill - and hard work, to drive. But to hear and feel that giant engine behind you when you put your foot down must one of biggest thrills ever.
Sie ist wirklich schön. Herzlichen Glückwunsch zur Restaurierung und vor allem zum Laufen! Gut gemacht! Ermutigung und Danke! She is really beautiful. Warm congratulations for having restored it and especially for making it run! Well done! Encouragement and Thanks! Elle est vraiment magnifique.

Awesome ! I totally love the fact that someone or group of people had the passion and foresight to keep these fantastic brutes togather and beautiful and running. That God.
Imagine driving down your main street in that ? I think they sound like what the ultimate adrenaline rush should sound like . Jay if your out there have someone bring one of these to your show so I can hear and see it àgain ?
What years was Dr. F. Porsche present in the Auto Union Rennsport shop? At some point, Porsche was tapped to move to Berlin to work full time on the Peoples Car, KDF project. 1935 or 1936? I know Porsche also visited Ford in Dearborn for some reason. I figure that's why VW's all had wide 5 wheel bolt patterns. Similar to 1936-39 Fords.
A fabulous historic racing car of the type driven by Stuck senior the champion of the hills. Stuck junior driving the car here was a great Porsche sportscar driver, a super combination!. In their day the drivers of these silver arrows were indeed titans.
It you don't mind, I will stick to my 1964 VW Transporter, flat bed 40 hp dependable " pick up " . Sounds were provided by Blaupunkt, Stuttgart model, beer was Mannheim Eichbaum.
Pure analogue power - I admire this monster in the same way as the BRM V16 and the Moto Guzzi Otto Cilindri. You know a car means business if it has dual rear wheels.
It was a necessity, not a philosophy. Technology didn't exist then to make the super wide tires of today, so they merely doubled it to two tires on each side to get more traction.
AMAZING!! The closest the rest of us will ever get to owning one of these cars is as a model or a slot car. CARRERA must make a 1/32 or 1/24 slot car version!!
Hans Stuck Jr. visited my home track of Lime Rock Park, Connecticut, USA several years back and he made the comment over the PA system that "This looks like some parts of Germany, very beautiful".
Anytime for me those old F1 cars, as with some others like the BRM H16 most best engineered cars back in the day and now. No todays F1 for me, times with Fittipaldi, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansel, Tony Schumacher and Ayrton Senna ended for me. The time were freedom of developement was not that strict, and no crybabies in F1 The insane 1500cc turbo charged 1400Hp era quailifiers took an end later on. turn up the loudknob with this historical beast.
.. they verified it: if you put this "car" in front, under a fully loaded 40-ton semi-trailer, it pulls it up to the top without any problem !!! (in fact they call them ... wait for me to remember..)

Hans-Joachim Stuck is the right driver for this beautiful car.
Hm.
Car is the wrong word.
It´s a masterpiece.
But Stuck senior has been the european master of hillclimbing!
No,it`s a beautifull BEAST!
If that car in a video gives me goosebumps, I'd like to imagine what kind of mark it would leave in the minds of people watching it live at its time.
1939 16 cylinder fuel injected and supercharged, IN 1939! That is amazing!
Karl K vorsprung durch technik :)
And the Rpms and power and weight, totally amazed at this engineering
It's actually carbureted (2 Solex carbs) and supercharged. Fuel injection was still a few years off.
Neither V16s nor supercharging were new in 1939. Marmon produced the first V16 some 12 years earlier, while Cadillac's V16 was sold from 1930.

Exact 💪💪
i think its right to use the word brutal to describe the sound of that machine
brutal is also the breaking system - Jesus... THAT power in the back with THAT brakes in the front!
For me it's no BRM V16.

This engine sound is so good its beyond comprehension.
This concept is the father of Formula 1 technology. Unfortunately, nothing of this sound remains.

👍😎🇦🇹
Genau so ist es 👍👍
The hills are alive with the sound of music.
The great grandfather of the R8.
These pre-war cars were like fighter planes without wings....
Hans Stuck is addicted to this cas. Every time you see Auto Union on youtube, its Hans driving it :D
because his father drove this one.
@@ungezogneeI just learned something new about this. Thanks for the info!
A miracle of engineering, what great driving and what a setting!
Sound of this engine is more than fantastic
I need to make this my ringtone.
The engine is basically taken from a fighter plane.
@@remiicario No, it's not. These fighter engines were much bigger - and Auto Union never produced such engines!

Crazy, taking a priceless piece of history on wet roads
Amazing car and listening to its exhaust is great and the double clutching downshifts & engine bliping is so cool.
I could easily watch these types of cars all day!
Unglaubliches Motorgeräusch, Gänsehaut.

If you could.

6 litre, 505 hp in 1939, wow
Beautiful car, Beautiful setting, Terrifying sound! 🏆⚒️❤️
Pure analogue power - I admire this monster in the same way as the BRM V16 and the Moto Guzzi Otto Cilindri. You know a car means business if it has dual rear wheels.
Superbe cette voiture, un bruit de fauve !
What a glorious sound. You would need big brass ones to drive this car fast
Esse e o mais Top dos carros antigos e o primeiro Bugatti Veyron da história viva Audi AG viva VW
Beautiful machine, a long way ahead of its time.
Ein irres Geschoss. Und Strietzel Stuck ist in meinen Augen der einzige der ihn fahren darf. Denn diesen Wagen fuhr sein Vater
NOW WHAT A BEAST THAT WAS!
Frightening, intimidating... Pure awesomeness.
Befitting that Hans Stuck Jr drive the car that his Pops drove in the 30s.
Is this the model that was so hot for the times the tires were literally burning off the thing before the end of a race?
500+ Horsepower in 1936......awesome
Such a stunning view, still today...
This sound is much more better than a Bugatti, all have 16 Zy. but this car is so much louder than every car around the world!!
V 16 an den Glocken Auto Union Horch !!! 🥸😎🤓🧐🙄😬🤨😵💫👻🙏
love the building philosophy about rear wheels
It was a necessity, not a philosophy. Technology didn't exist then to make the super wide tires of today, so they merely doubled it to two tires on each side to get more traction.
Isso sim e um motor fantástico.
A beast of a car, love it.
.
Glorious...just....glorious
Absolutely spine tingling!
Das war noch echtes Rennen fahren nicht wie heute in den High Tech Karbon Kisten
Und dieser Sound mit zwischen Gas herrlich.
Why don't car manufacturers produce kit cars like these for the track. This is carfection
That sound! ❤
AMAZING!!
The closest the rest of us will ever get to owning one of these cars is as a model or a slot car. CARRERA must make a 1/32 or 1/24 slot car version!!
Well, Pink Kar used to make one and I had one a few years ago: www.homeracingworld.com/pinkkarautounion.htm
I have seen Hans drive this with a 'D' nose on it, best engine sound in the world -- one of my top favourite cars (when in 'hillclimb configuration').
Nothing wrong with its GP configuration either. Just two fewer wheels!
1937 Type C 16 cylinders
1939 Type D 12 cylinders (3 liters blown)
Two quite different cars
I like it. Where can I get one?
Ein fantastischer Wagen !!!
Awesome back in the day when nobody gave a shit about decibels!
Wunderbar!
I wonder if the dualls give it a towing capacity
Faszination pur 😉🧚♀️👍🍀🏆🏁
Love it but that's a 1937 or 1938 type C hillclimb car. The 1939 type C/D hillclimber had the type C v-16 engine but the type D body.
250 Km/h ??????
No no no !!!
Das Auto ging über 300 Km/h !!!
Always good to see Hans!

Me too.
