Breakfast Granola for 1/5/11

As good as I've seen of the Auto Union Type-C is the "Streamliner" on Gran Turismo 4, and I'm hoping to rediscover it in 5. Here's the next-next best thing, from Jalopnik:
By 1936, the Auto Union racecar was powered by a six-liter supercharged V16 producing 520 hp. To say the Auto Union Typ C dominated racing was a matter of understatement. Of the Grands Prix Bernd Rosemeyer took in the Typ C were the Eifelrennen, German, Swiss, and Italian to give him Auto Union's only driver's championship. Hans Stuck came in second in the Tripoli and German Grands Prix. The notoriously tricky-to-drive ur-Audi could spin the wheels at 100 mph. Under the skin... Well, this is what it looked like.
