Beskrivning:

1938 Auto-Union V16 type C/D replica. This original car was purpose-bult for hillclimbing competitions. The construction was headed by Dr. Ing. Robert Eberan von Eberhorst. The car was built on a type D chassis and powered by a 520 hp supercharged 6005 cc V16 engine designed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche. Fuel consumption was 6 litres/10 km. In 1939 Hans. Struck drove the car to victory at La Turbie in France and came second at the Grosslockner track in Austria. H. P. Müller was successful both at Grosslockner and on mountain roads in Kohlensberg aoutside Vienna. In 1945 the car was taken from Auto-Union in Zwickau to Moscow, to study it's technology. In 1976 it was at the ZIL factory in Moscow, and scheduled to be cut up for scrap metal, when Victors Kulbergs, president of the Antique Automobile Club of Latvia, acquired it as the first exhibit for the Riga Motor Museum. Audi later bought the car in exchange for money and an exact replica. In England in 1997 Crosthwhaite & Gardiner started work on restoring the original and creating the replica.
