Auto Union?

[Classic Anycar]

I just discovered from the website that the 1937 Auto Union Streamline is in GT4! How the heck do I get this?

Its alright, can't really use it in any events, but its pretty fun to take round the 'ring. 👍

Auto Union and Mercedes ad a showdown in 1937 on a closed highway to be the first to pass the 400 km/h mark. Auto Union won. The car tops at roughly 385km/h in real life at the time.

I was under the impression that the auto union is only available in the PAL version of GT4. Your link lists it as a car you can win with the NA version?

The Auto Union can also be bought brand new from the Audi dealer for 500000 Cr.

Has anyone actually got this baby to 400km/h or 385? I won it and the first thing I remember is that Audi ad about being first to break 400, so i went onto test course. Highest I got was about 220mph or 352km/h. I know that you can put a force induct it (Turbos were a big hit in 1937...). But can anyone get this thing to 400km/h standard, without upgrading or going up on two wheels?

I have laid down a challenge, who will except?

Rosemeyer on Auto Union did 408 km/h in October '37. On January 28th '38 Caracciola did 432.7 km/h on Mercedes (unbeaten to this day on a public road). It was a windy day, but despite warnings from Carraciola Rosemeyer immediately went out to reclaim the record. Over the flying km he was clocked 1km/h faster than Caracciola but then got caught by the crosswind when passing a clearing, lost control and was killed.
Theoretical top speed of the Auto Union in the '38 configuration was estimated to be about 456 km/h.

Nice webpage. 👍 Has lots of nice paintings I hadn't seen before!

Here is another well-made site with the Silver Arrows:

Yeah, but it looks effing sweet, especially for a car from 1937.

That's what you get from enclosed wheel arches designed for streamlining, yups.

My only gripes with this car is that it can only drive on the Nurburgring, and the open-wheeled Grand Prix car isn't in. Can anyone imagine how awesome a Mercedes W156 on Grindelwald would be? 💡 600+ HP, 800kg monster around that Bremgarten-like course! Or an Auto Union C around Assisi reverse? Absolute nuts. 👍

Just imagine a 20+ car race on the Nurburgring with various pre-war Bugattis, Alfas, Auto Unions and Mercedes in GT5!

Amazing idea...I'M FOR IT!!!!

yeah, thats the only thing cool about it

 

[JTSnooks]

*holds back remarks* I'm glad the car is in the game, even if it is mostly useless. Don't like it, don't drive it. That's why I haven't driven a Skyline or Civic except when I have no choice

Yeah, its in, and it can be bought. Better to win it though and save your $500K for something else.
