Auto Union Type 52 ‘Schnellsportwagen’ by Audi Tradition / Crosthwaite & Gardiner

Though the plans for this pre-war supercar were drawn up during the 1930s, by none other than Ferdinand Porsche, it’s taken 90 years for the car to be built – created for Audi Tradition by Crosthwaite & Gardiner after years of painstaking research. The ‘super sports car’ is powered by an Auto Union Type C V16, producing more than 500bhp, even though the original plans specified 200bhp. It was revealed to wide acclaim at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, and driven by Hans-Joachim Stuck, son of original Auto Union race driver Hans Stuck.
