First things first, this is unrealistic. It's to scale, but many aspects sutch as handling, front grill, and suspension are off... This is because this actual build has a strange history.
CONTROLS:
Activator 1- turns on the engines
Trim makes a nice revving/ supercharger noise (it was just experimental)
VTOL throttle
Roll is steer
And brake is well... Brake
As I said , the build has strange history,
Well a few weeks ago I was clearing out my saves, and I found a save called A UNION I found a very very old thing I made, and that thing was a wire frame chassis, and various bits and bobs like the seat (I spruced it up) it had some blocky wheels on it lol, so I decided to you know, re make it, but in a style I would have housed possibly 6-10 months ago.... Yea, and I used fuselage blocks,
Don't be mad at the way it looks it's like my DH vampire and it's all about the way it's made,
So,
The type C auto Union was a German racing car of the 1930's designed by none other than Mr Ferdinand Porche it was a refined version of his earlier cars the A& guess what, the B,
It was powered by a rear mounted 6.010 cc V16 engine that could generate wheelspin at 100mph, and produced so much torque it could get the car round the Nurburgring on the 1st gear. On a straight section of track it could reach 180mph (rare) and Burnd Rosemeyer (the most famous and best auto Union driver) reached over 200mph in a speed record attempt, unfortunately he was tragically chilled trying to beat his record when his car span off the road.
It unfortunately suffered with extreme handling characteristics such as oversteer, and an engine caused skid when it accelerated out of corners, it also melted the rear wheels, and guzzled fuel like a jet engine,
The only driver who was truly at home in what most find an extremely hard car to drive was Burnd Rosemeyer,
Unfortunately the 1936-37 auto Union C's were soon to be replaced,
As the regulations changed in 1938. Auto Union created the D and Porche did not take part in its design.
ENJOY!
Watch out for the low ground clearance!

It looks really cool!
@PlanesOfOld lol
Damn autocorrect! @Awesomeplanes
Wow, I was working on one myself and again you beat me to it.
Great little build, and I find it works pretty good. Oh and you misspelled killed as chilled
@PlanesOfOld hmm ok. I chose the T2000 because it's a WWII style prop engine, which makes the correct sound.
Wow, I didn't realise, anyway, this is a bigger version lol @ThunderscreechEngineering
It realy wasn't an areo engine look it up lol sounds amazing. @JovianPat
At first I'm confused...which one is the front? lol
Btw if you want to make a realistic sound, use the T2000 prop engine, it makes a realistic aero engine sound :)
@PlanesOfOld I don't think I have enough skill to make all the curves, but I'll try
@PlanesOfOld Was it a coincidence that both of us made one of these?
Dude! The engine on this is so cool! I'm just gonna drive it with no engine housings.
Wow I isn't think anyone would look inside lol @IronMetal314
Yes I've seen that, but the curves and lines could only be created in a smaller model, I may make it, but I would like to try some other stuff first, you could even make it! @MysteryBox
I like how you did the details ipfor the engin! Really nice car :D
Just a suggestion, but could you try and build an Auto Union Streamliner Type C? It looks really cool, and also has a good history. It's ok if you don't build it, since it looks really hard.
