Would you look at this quirky piece of Czech technology, eh? A very good Cd coefficient indeed, for an early '50's car. And it's so quirky and unique, it's an automatic head turner. Not to mention that it isn't that unreliable for a classic car. Also, that fin at the back just screams Bugatti at me, and that's cool too.

Final rating? Cool! It draws attention, but the reasons as to why it does such aren't uncool at all...

 

[Dagger311]

Pretty cool.

 

[synchromesh]

These cars revolutionized their country's automobiles and were amazing and had lots of technology. Sub zero

 

[Roger the Horse]

I can't think of a single more ominous car to step out of.

 

[Wiegert]

Could have been quirkier*. Except it probably wouldn't have been the most attractive of all Tatras.

Sub Zero.



*It did eventually happen. And it was... an acquired taste.

 

[niky]

Words unnecessary. Cool.

 

[Adamgp]

Meh.

 

[Dennisch]

So stylish. So cool.

 

[Cano]

Tatra

Sub zero.

 

[Epic B]

.32 Cd? Impressive. Cool it is.

 

[Slash]

Meh. Nothing really sticks out. Could care less about aerodynamics.

 

[a6m5]

I don't like how the back looks, but still very cool. Had I liked the rear, it would've been a easy sub-zero.

 

[Encyclopedia]

God I love these. SZ.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Looks kinda cute and somewhat ingenious. Cool

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Pulling up in one of these will make people think that you're either a spy, a genius, or a supervillain. Any way you spin it, this thing is sub zero.

 

[mustafur]

The front looks like an old Morris then the back goes all bat-mobile, unsure what I think about this.

 

[JoaoSilva]

Meh , not that bad.

 

[Liquid]

"That's a funny looking Beetle."

And then the conspiracies start.

Uncool

 

[axletramp]

Quirky and cool, just not SZ material though.

 

[Legro]

"Hey, my car had the same drag coefficient as Honda Insight in 1946"
"You mean that thing that looks like a Beetle limo?"

 

[Cano]

Now that I think about it, even the name -Tatraplan- warrants it a sub zero.

 

[huskeR32]

Meh. Nothing really sticks out. Could care less about aerodynamics.

Fingernails on a chalkboard.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

I don't like it. It looks like a Morris Minor and a VW Beetle had some sort of love child which turned out less charming than either of them.

 

[edawg456]

Like it a lot. So sub zero.

 

[Badasp5.0]

Cool Almost SZ but I am a tatra fan

 

[Epic B]

"Hey, my car had the same drag coefficient as Honda Insight in 1946"
"You mean that thing that looks like a Beetle limo?"

It even had a flat 4! Though I thought it looks more like a 356.

 

[Jet Badger]

Would you look at this quirky piece of Czech technology, eh?

Czechnology.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Czechnology.

Well there you go then, I'll use that word for every Tatra that appears here from now on.

 

[Wiegert]

Czechnology.

Velorex.
