The world record car T80 was built in1939 by Ferdinand Porsche. It was equipped with the plane motor DB 603 with 3,000 HP. The T80 should be the worlds fastet vehicle on 4 wheels. It was planned to race in 1940 with up to 600 km/h over the Autobahn. The start of WWII halted this project, so the T80 was never used.

The streamliner recreated. After an autobahn run of 279 mph, Bernd Rosemeyer lost his life when this special Auto Union went out of control. The replica displayed here at Laguna Seca features exquisite craftsmanship.
