- This time I have filmed the 6-wheels 1936 Auto Unio Type C with V16 engine. It is in action during the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Under the hood you will find a V16 engine with a single-step roots supercharger that produce 520HP . I hope you will enjoy this video.
Auto Union AG, Chemnitz, was an amalgamation of four German automobile manufacturers, founded in 1932 and established in 1936 in Chemnitz, Saxony. It is the immediate predecessor of Audi as it is known today.

"How many decibels was that?"
"er, all of em I think..."
WELL SAID!!!
It's like a Ted Nugent concert on 6 wheels.
There's an official technical symbol used to denote decibels, so that people don't have to spell out the whole word every time. That technical symbol is: 🛐
It's obvious why the officials developed that symbol. It represents a citizen on his or her(or ze or zir) knees, begging for the loud heavy metal music to be turned down! 🤫🙃
🤣😂😎
This car must be basically priceless and yet rather than baby it round, the driver actually gives it some revs. And I love that. A car, especially a race car, that never gets let out of its air conditioned garage, or driven around at idle is a sad thing to see. An old race car being let off the leash to show off is a glorious thing to see and hear.
This one's a '98 replica, so pricey yes, priceless no
@@rondog5401998... Interesting, that was 2 years before the R8 became the beast of the ALMS in here in America...
Just the appearance of the dual rear wheels on the hill climb version gives this machine a very aggressive, menacing look! There is no question that it means business. 🏁
Yes, and brings out even more that with Auto Union's mid-rear engine layout this/these are the ancestor of all F1 cars since 1959 (Cooper, Lotus, Ferrari...) and most to all Indy cars since 1963-65 (Jim Clark, Colin Chapman, Lotus)
This has been my favorite car ever since I saw an advert for a CMC brand scale model. I purchased the model and fell even deeper in love. It still lives in my collection under glass.
The grandfather of all modern Formula One cars!
Hey, man. What are these tube like racing cars called? They look amazing!
@@20SG20Silver Arrows, comrade.
This is the rowdiest thing I've ever seen...from that v16 that sounds like war, to the dual rear wheels, low slung and looks like it's doing a buck 20 parked!!!! It's a design out of the future...one that hasn't arrived yet!
Those V16 supercharged engines were amazing. I would love to drive this beast if a car.
To ride this car around the 200mph benchmark, well, I can't imagine, unbeliveable. That sound, unbeliveable.
That is a BEAST ... That sound ... I am in heawen.
I'm glad to see someone driving a priceless car. I've known about that car, I've seen pictures, I've always wanted to hear one. Thank you.
I dont have a problem people driving cars like this,the thing that bothers me is when these people that have no racing experience (but they do have money) want to enter these cars into races against other buddies (that have no racing experience either) and then they wreck the cars,lol, you wanna drive it good and hard? awesome,finding you a desolate road and lay that hammer down,no need for something this special to be around another 15 more priceless cars inches from each other.
"Here we are today at Sotheby's auctioning off a beautiful 1962 Ferrari GTO for 47 million dollars, this car was at le mans in 1965,it was also raced in Buenos Aires and at Nurburgring in 1968,car is immaculate except for a total front clip rebuild from a accident sustained a month ago on Sunset Boulevard while being raced by a idiot with more money that sense at Car's and Coffee"
other comment said it's a replica made in 1998
Such a privilege to be able to drive one of these.
The sound is terrifying
This just might be the best sounding car engine... in the world.
It's all subjective, but I think that the BRM V16 beats this.
@@motosnapePretty sure the BRM was a H16
@@bigjosh2314. Hi Josh. I'm not a BRM expert, but the V16 was a predecessor to the H16. As was typical of BRM, by the time they had made the V16 reliable (relatively speaking) and competitive, the construction rules had changed. If you're interested, there's a vid on TH-cam, which is just some still images, but the audio is the best I've heard for this car. Put on some headphones or good speakers, search 'Squid vicious BRM'.
Great sound, but not as astonishing as the 1.5 litre BRM at high revs.
@@bigjosh2314 they did both, different engines for different times. The V16 was 1.5 litre and supercharged, originally designed in the inter-war period and revived afterwards.
The H16 was much later, 1966. Essentially a doubled up rephased version of their existing 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated V8.
Neither were successful and both have since been deemed over complicated. The V16 just needed better ignition. The H16 was killed by its own inertial violence, like the Porsche and Coventry-Climax flat sixteens of the same era. Cross plane cranks would have prevented that.
This is why I go to Goodwood!
This is a lot of why I'd love to go to Goodwood. Thankful I can at least see and hear such fabulous cars in action on You Tube.
Any Auto Union Type C V16 vid is a good vid!
This must've sounded like the gates of hell had opened back in 1936.
Well, given what happened over the course of the ten years that followed, you could say they had.
Never before had a race car so much torque on the rear axle 6.0 Liters, 16 cylinders 520 bhp at 4.700 rpm , only Mercedes W125 could beat it, with 5.7 Liters straight eight 560 bhp… Compare with Bugatti Typ59/50 B with 5.0 Liter straight eight 370/380 bhp or Maserati 8 CM or Alfa Romeo P3 3.8 liters 360 bhp there was no monster that reliable and strong..
Alfa Romeo did try with Bimotore in 1935 with 2 little 2.6 liter 8 Zylinders brought together with 390 to 420 bhp but this car was impossible to be manouvered around the bends
It forced a lot of will and courage out of the person who drove it. Nuvolari came when there was a tiny three liter
@@negativeone7151Yes, if only the Germans had stuck to what they do best: engineering.
A masterpiece of engineering and horsepower. Major respect for all those who drove and raced this animal.
I've just had an eargasm! Thanks, OP.
My Danish step-father who was alive at the time that this car was developed and driven, said that it was well known for being completely nuts to drive. The driver sat so far up front that he never really had a feeling for what the rear end was doing and with that power available it could quickly get out of control, i.e. by the time the driver felt the back was going out it would be in an almost uncontrollable slide. That's probably why you don't see that driver setup these days.
Also, yes it was Auto Union with the 4 rings and not Audi, Audi came later when VW purchased them.
I notice that in my sprinter!😂
Tazio Nuvalari mastered it pretty well. While Jim Clark has always been my racing hero, I think Enzo Ferrari and Ferdinand Porsche may have been right that Nuvalari was the best that there would ever be.
@@jockellis Nuvalari was good, personally Juan Manuel Fangio was the one, just when the cars were starting to come together into a serious racing format but still needed drivers to man-handle them around the circuit, hanging the tail out at speed on the corners!
The 4 rings symbolise Horch, Wanderer, Audi and DKW. After WWII and (later) VW bought the brand, the name became Audi. 'Audi' is Latin for 'listen'. And Horch is German for... 'listen'. I am old enough to remember DKW models with the 4 rings on the nose. Officially named 'Auto Union DKW'. Around 1965, VW bought the brand, and didn't change the models at first, only re-badging the cars to Audi (- with the rings in place).
@@mennovanrij9334 Never had experience with Horch and Wanderer brands, they didn't make it to South Africa, however the Auto Union and Audi brands did and the former were very popular over there in the mid 60s along with the SAAB 2 stroke cars. The Audi cars only really started making an appearance late60s early 70s with the Audi 80, featured inboard front discs from memory, much like the Citroën DS. Great memories!
Even though that car is priceless, the driver gives it the beans and and unchains the beast....wunderbar.....thank you
Replica or not it’s still pretty amazing. To think they were ripping along at 230mph plus on spoke wheels and skinny tires in the 30’s is mind blowing, a few guys died testing these monsters.
Lovely to see these old bits of kit out and about, instead of sitting in a museum gathering dust!. Nice one!. Nuff said. 🙂
Repllica
@sugarnads not a chance. This is Goodwood. These are all legit
@@picax8398 This is indeed a replica from 1998 - you'll see it on the sign from 0:31 on. But is a perfect replica down to the last detail (they have worked from the original drawings and contemporary photographs), so I personally consider it to be the real deal. It definitely gives you the full experience of the original car, in appearance as well as in sound (and smell).
This is a replica, commissioned by Audi. It says it on that sign in the video. Two recreated 1936 V16 C-types were made by Audi (successor to Auto Union). The originals were lost to racing and/or carried off to the USSR as war booty. IT is believed that only 3 original AU cars still exist.
I wouldn't be surprised if some Russian oligarch owns a few them secretly.
There 2 of em in New Mexico.. some insane old man has them in a f'ing shed.
@@mattiapresti7295
Yes, you're right. It was commissioned by Audi from a company in Sussex. I don't remember their name
@@johnbarker77715you think they’d make me a crate motor to put in a Miata?
@@johnbarker77715crosthwaite and gardiner, where I work
The Audi museum in Ingolstadt, Germany has several of these on view (possibly the same ones?). Stunning in person. Loved seeing that dually in person! Awesome museum.
I believe there are only 3 real ones left. The one on the video is a replica built by audi themselves
THESE were the best racing cars of the 20 century 😮 proper raw sounding and looking fab too ❤️
one of my all time favorites cars
what a sound !!
context I bought my CBX1000 6 cylinder in 1979 43 years after this...44 years later still got it 11s standing 1/4 mile and only 105 hp
Fantastic sounds , imagine seeing Nuvolari on full throttle and opposite lock in one. I"d pay a fair bit for just a little go in one.
I love the fire walls. Literally, fire walls.
What a beast! Racing must have been so awsome back in those days!
That's the sound of a real race car.
Well I'm impressed what a beautiful noise
A racecar with dualies? Now I've seen it all.
The twin rear wheels were really only used on hill climb events.
Single wheels could not contain the power. This thing is a beast
The sound of the Angel of Death himself as he comes to steal your soul.
Der Rennwagen aller Zeiten... Hammer
Love the sound. Absolute Beast !
ESSE CARRO ERA SURREAL PARA SUA ÉPOCA, ATÉ NA REDUÇÃO DO MOTOR ELE FAZ UM SOM ATUAL.
I remember watching films of this car compete against other competitors Ferrari all of the different manufacturers this car was dominant . But there was no sound. And had no idea that it made 520 horsepower in its final setup.
I'm so glad this car survives and that we can see what it really is. It would appear to be hard to shift but it shifts quickly once you get the hang of it.
Replica.
And ferrari didnt exist in 1936
Auto Union and Mercedes Benz dominated mid-late '30's Grand Prix racing. Up to 200 mph. Handling, let alone braking decidedly squirrely. Alfa-Romeo tried, (who had been tops early 30's) and with Tazio Nuvolari occasionally was able to triumph.
Stop telling BS dude. "Ferrari" didn't exist at that time, you clown!
Auto Union and Mercedes-Benz were unbeatable at that time and era of early F1 like racing series in pre war Germany.
Ferrari came to motorsport 20 years after these German UFOs.
Un auto adelantado 70 años con la la cabina sobre el eje delantero como los F1 de la decada del 80 increinle hermoso
It's organic in how that engine wails and barks ❤
Seen this and the Auto Union V16 at the Goodwood FOS. Some of the best music ever created.
My favorite all time Grand Prix cars. Auto Union!
J’adore le petit coup de gaz entre les rapports ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The silver Arrows were the most beautiful. Lacias and Maseratis come close.. but this Auto Union C/D was brutal engineering!
Never heard such incredible sound 💪💪💪🙏💥💥💥
One of the best looking Race cars ever.
Was für ein geiler Sound! 😁
What an animal, 520 hp when the average road car of that time had about 10!
Man that thing sounds mean!
What beautiful sounding machine!
Beautiful machine. I’ve always loved the Auto Union GP cars.
Yes! A symphony!
THAT is proper sound, folks!
20:21. Absolutely amazing sound. I grew up in the 60s with cooking Auto Union and DKW 2 strokes all around me. 😂
I don't see where the 'Audi' bit came into this particular car. The four ring badge was nicked from Auto Union for its re- introduction to the market in 1964/5. Guess you have to be old to remember this stuff.
They were one of the rings , or 25% of the "union", and as it turns out, the last one standing
What a great sounding motor!!
Fabulous. It will be very nice to get a scale model of this car.
had to be fun building such an awesome replica.
Strange that F1 went back to front motor configuration in the fifties, after this was designed 20 years earlier?
A beautiful sound
What a wonderful machine!
Audi then: We make V16 engine Dominated Group B.
Audi now: We can't make engine any more.
Remarkable that mid rear engine layout did not reappear until the late 50s for formula cars.
Mercedes didn't believe in mid engines in the 1930's ....or mid '50's. It was not that layouts' time yet
Crazy !! You have to make the breaks better than the originals and you will really have a
special racer / hotrod. Yeeeeeaaaah, Type C, Go !! who cares if its not as fast as anything 2024.
rien que pour les oreilles 🤩
No electric car will ever sound (nor smell) like this!
One day, all racing cars will sound like this..
What a beast!
And there I was thinking Fernando's Renault V10 sounded great ! This is at another level ! Just the thing for a little Sunday run out !!😅
It's hard to believe that there were cars back then that sounded totally bad out like this one. EARGASM ! ! !
What a beast!!!!
Sensational!!!
A feast for the ears
1936, 520HP what a beast.
These marvels make modern F1 cars sound like spoiled todlers ! 😂😂😂
Just beautiful ❤️
che mostro !! 🤩
That sounds nearly as good as a BRM
Modern oils and modern tyre construction - make a big difference!
Nice! Noise turned up to 11.
Sounds like nothing else on earth!
The guys driving this are smiling from ear to ear, I'll betcha.
The world needs more race cars with duallies.....
Awesome sound!
500hp and 200mph with drum brakes and pram wheels. . .
When car racing was still a raw adventure.
Sounds wicked
At full throttle it sounds like a Ju-87 Stuka in a dive! And it doesn't even need the sirens😂
Real cars driven by real men !!!!
Just awesome 😎😎😎😎😎
Was told aluminum used in the engine, has the quality of LAWNCHAIRS.Scary!😎👍✌🇨🇦
@user-pu9rd7wl9c - The block and heads were steel and iron. The only aluminum used was the crankcase. There was no lack of quality in the making of these technologically advanced machines!
@@Loulovesspeed I agree.Thanks for the info.Speedvision show was a long time ago,my memory rusty.😎👍✌🇨🇦
@@Mark-o6k4l - No problem. My memory has some some rusticles playing games with it! That happens to those 75 and older. LOL
Такой Ауди Autu Union есть в Риге в авто музее. Очень крутая..
Oh bordel sa envoie du lourd a l'échappement
the tandem rear wheels is excellent
Awesome!!!!
The techno union army is at your disposal count Duku
Hele dikke video man !!
1:35 - 1:38
DEMONIC
530hp on 800kg is just brutal, and that's speaking from today.
Wow! 🎶🎶🎼
Now with such a glorious sound who'd want a crappy electric car??????????
Anyone who values the environment we live in and cares about what sort of environment our children and grandchildren will inherit.
Tell me you know nothing about electric cars without telling me 🤦. You tried to take the moral high ground and just ended up being a ground level douchebag... Congrats.
