W125 #5 (streamlined speed-record-car)
first version had a 5.57 litre V12 with 570hp. Rudolf Caracciola reached 395kph, but the car was dangerous, the front lifted at that speed. So they rebuilt it and also brought in more power: 736hp In that years it was possible to get a full day on the Autobahn (it was blocked for record-days, not even think about that today  ) and Caracciola reached in the new version 432,7kph on the Autobahn between Frankfurt/Main and Darmstadt. The highest speed ever reached on public roads!

wait a second, wasn't there also a version of the first car (the wedge shaped one) with a different front, without the air intakes?

mistery solved I guess. My bad, I probably confused it with W25 streamlined record car you already posted.

Wow, netburner.
Thanks for the hundreds, if not thousands, of images you've uploaded over the past week.
