Audi Auto Union Type C
Ferdinand Porsche's masterpiece for the Auto Union racing programme — a mid-rear-engined Grand Prix car with a supercharged 16-cylinder engine producing up to 520 hp. The Type C was Bernd Rosemeyer's weapon to take the European Grand Prix Championship, running on a revolutionary mid-engine layout three decades before it became standard.
