Not sure I agree with that (I should say I even smell sarcasm), but that doesn't mean I don't love it.

Lucky you. The sleek design makes it look rather small.

Until you notice the people in the second picture.

Indeed. They don't get much better than the Figoni and Falaschi 135M Competition Coupe.

1937 Horch 853 Sport Cabriolet by Voll & Ruhrbeck. Horch was actually one of the four manufacturers that made up Auto Union, who were then consolidated into Audi--the four rings in Audi's logo actually represent Audi, DKW, Wanderer and Horch.

The world's first concept car.

1941 Chrysler Phantom Thunderbolt

And no small coincidence it looks like the Muntz Jet, or rather the Jet looks like it, as the Thunderbolt was a major influence on Madman Muntz's and Frank Curtis' design.

1937 Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Aerodinamica Spider

Dubbed the "Croatian Alfa" as it was built in the Croatian city of Rijeka (back then called Fiume and apart of Italy), it is a mid-engine sports car well ahead of its time.

I love Prewar cars. The only problem with loving prewar cars is that they aren't in racing games. I can understand some of them, not being fast and all, but why aren't Duesenbergs and Cords in Forza? These beasts could go 140+ mph!
