CMC Diecast 1:18 Auto Union C Type 4 1936 (Ltd Ed)
CMC Diecast 1:18 Auto Union C Type 4 1936 (Ltd Ed) This racing car developed by Ferdinand Porsche wrote racing history right away like almost no other racing car had done before: In 1936 Auto Union presented with the Type C a Monoposto which was almost totally different from all the other racing cars known so far. What stood out especially was the unconventional design of the sensational 16-cylinder. V-engine installed behind the driver and in front of the rear axle – an innovation which soon became the accepted thing. This high- performance racing car was above all so successful because the bullet with 520 hp was driven by a highly talented racing driver: Bernd Rosemeyer. 1936 was his most successful year when he became European Champion and won numerous Grand Prix. In 1937 the new ace
of the Auto Union could keep his main competitor, Mercedes-Benz, in check as well and was able to continue his successful career with five further wins. The Auto Union Type C is handmounted from 1026 parts to an extra class precision model. The single parts are of high-quality materials: 23 parts are zinc die-cast, 754 of metal, copper or are photo-etched and 153 are made of plastic. The remaining 96 parts are screws, rivets or indicated screw heads. The "sound-barrier" has been broken: For the first time CMC is presenting a model in the scale 1:18, which is made of more than 1000 parts. 1936 was the year of Auto Union and its young driver Bernd Rosemeyer. He became the new star in the European racing scene. It was a clash of the titans, Mercedes-Benz VS Auto Union. The GP of
Germany on July 26 was just another round of that fight. The agile and highly talented Bernd Rosemeyer was able to handle the 16 cylinder v-engine powerhouse of Auto Union Type C like no one else ever had. The mid-mounted engine of the vehicle, developed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, broke new ground for its timeWith his starting number 4, Bernd Rosemeyer achieved a prestigious victory. His team mate Hans Stuck, also on Auto Union Type C, became 2nd. Mercedes had to leave the track with empty hands this time. Our limited edition models represents the victorious Auto Union Type C race car with starting number 4. ****PLEASE EMAIL OR RING TO CHECK AVAILABILITY. TEL: 0870 241 2829.****
