Ferdinand Porsche’s Auto Union Type C disrupted racing history like none had before. The avant-garde design placed the V-engine behind the driver and in front of the rear axle. The intention was to provide optimum torque at low speeds. This hardcore special with 520 hp was driven by the highly accomplished Bernd Rosemeyer. In 1936, Rosemeyer became European Champion and won a number of Grand Prix races making it his most successful year ever. With Rosemeyer at the wheel, the new ace of the Auto Union overshadowed their main competitor, Mercedes-Benz. Racing Star Bernd Rosemeyer broke new ground with his starting number 4 and won an impressive victory.

The CMC Auto Union Type C pays tribute to this prestigious win with their limited edition model with starting number 4.
