Tatra T87 1936

[smearcampaign]

Made in Czechoslovakia. It's powered by a rear-mounted, cast-magnesium, air-cooled 2.9-liter overhead-cam Hemi-head cross-plane V8 with a four-speed transaxle. The suspension is fully independent, with twin transverse leaf springs in front and a unique swing axle setup in back. It was very smooth on the road and could reach 100 mph.

This car inspired the Volkswagen Beetle. There is a fascinating story behind this car which Jay Leno can tell you about below. Very Bohemian, the very unique handling of the car is reason enough to have it included in the game.

Big V8, RR, with '30s suspensions and tires: it was said that this car killed more German officers than the Polish army

This car inspired the Volkswagen Beetle.

More than just "inspired", Germany used their military power to basically steal Tatra designs from the Polish and turn them into the Beetle. Tatra didn't see a cent from their violated patents until a settlement in 1965

Seriously loving this. Would take the perfect spot next to my Abarth 1500 Biposto in my GT garage.
