This car is incredible, it has the grunt and the flair to make it supreme, supreme enough to be the daily driver of a supervillain

[NekoWinters]

The fact that this actually got DRIVEN is pretty awesome :) full tilt or not (it is a ONE OF ONE) after all

[lucasblanchard]

That exhaust noise sounds like a spaceship!

[MrDriftspirit]

Batmobil of the 1930ies! Incredible car. What an extra ordinary sound

[EvanMoon]

The three piece of glass window is crazy

[jochem]

This car is the pinnacle of both my dreams and my nightmares.

This is a proper interpretation of what a mid-engine Bugatti supercar would look like if it was built in the 1930s

The Cadillac V16 had a V16 first. It was launched January 1930, and was an actual production car. The 52 is very cool, though!

[Klostream]

The front profile is a bit questionable for my taste, but the side profile and rear three-quarter…. That is a thing of beauty!

"How many cylinders would you like?"

Audi: "Yes."

Phantastisch ❤️‍🔥 Ein 16 Zylinder Auto Union Silberpfeil als dreisitzige Autobahn Limousine... 🤩😍 Absolut verrückt, aber genauso hätte dieser Wagen 1939 aussehen können! Großartige Idee, super Arbeit, top Kunstwerk 👍

Auto Union continues with its symbol even in 2024 that is remarkable, let's celebrate from its first official Auto Union historical site in South América

Future is an attitude!

Tourbillion heritage - Audi Type 52, VW Nardo, Bentley Hunandieres, Bugatti Veyron, Chiron, Tourbillion

[FritzKraut]

Great compliment to the engineers of Audi for bringing this legend back to life.

[jurisfabium]

And I thought I'd hear the power of a V16 engine. Oh well.

[kellypaws]

I have a feeling it would be pricey if that got binned.

[mritchie]

Special car, this and cars from Avions Voisin just look like automotive art in motion.

[Mall-Nutrition]

I can promise that my heart would be racing the whole time in excitement and nervousness

[JohnMcMahon.]

Beautiful. It’s like a vintage aircraft on four wheels, without wings.
