I remember reading about this car. It was originally built to seize the land speed record on the newly constructed Autobaun. It did achieve the fastest speed recorded, but a crosswind pushed the car off the road and the driver didn't make it. It's really amazing how advanced the Germans during the 30's and 40's.
