The new mid-engined Audi V16 hypercar, is powered by a supercharged 6.0-liter V16 engine.
But even though Audi only finished building it a few weeks ago, the Auto Union Lucca isn’t actually a brand-new car. It’s a modern recreation of a legendary 1930s machine.
Built by Audi’s heritage division, Audi Tradition, the car brings back a pre-war speed icon that smashed records by going over 200 mph — an unbelievable achievement in 1935.
And the story behind the original car, its record-breaking run, and why Audi decided to rebuild it today is even more incredible.
Absolutely insane! A mid-engine Audi with a supercharged 6.0L V16 sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie. What I liked most was that they not only created a modern hypercar but also recreated the legendary spirit of Auto Union from the 1930s.
