Model created in single part, cannot be carried out any more.

Conceived by Ferdinand PORSCHE, this" racing beast " controlled by Bernd ROSEMEYER, equipped with a V16 engine developing 520 HP enabling him to reach more than 340 km/h, adopted very advancing mechanical solutions in the competition (still in application at the end of the century): engine placed in central rear position, with cockpit in the very front of the car; suspension by torsion bars; front axle with parallel and longitudinal arms; tubular frame; etc…

- direction by screw box since removable steering wheel;

- functional suspension by torsion bars placed in the tubes of the frame;

- wheels assembled on grooved axes;

- screw nuts of wheels threaded on the right and on the left ways;

- authentic Continental tires;

- unscrewing stoppers of radiator, oil tank, gasoline tank and oil pump breather;
