For Sale: Auto Union D-Type, one owner (A. Hitler) - 12-02-2006, 06:15 AM
Yes you read that correctly. Adolf Hitler’s Auto Union D-Type is up for auction.

Hitler commissioned Ferdinand Porsche to build the car for him. way back in 1939. Packing 485 bhp and able to hit 186 mph, it’d still show a few of todays ’sports cars’ the way home.



The car hasn’t been pampered all its life - it’s been in pieces. The Russians snatched it during World War II, then took it apart, to figure out exactly what went into it.

The car was discovered in the 1990’s and restored to its former glory. Now it’s expected to smash the previous record of £5.5 million (set by a 1931 Bugatti).
