| | Rare Auto Union V16 to be Displayed at L.A. Auto Show |
 | | Valued at over $8 million, the V16 Silver Arrow is expected to be the most valuable exhibit in Los Angeles. |
 | | With a 6-liter, 520 horsepower and 603 foot pounds of torque, 16-cylinder, supercharged, all-alloy engine mounted between driver and rear axle, these massively powerful Bergwagens and their Grand Prix cousins spearheaded racing technology, pre-empting by two decades the general adoption of mid-engined design. |
 | | Then, still with its V16 engine, date-stamped February 1936, the car was rebuilt around a modified version of the latest D-type V12 GP chassis, with a de Dion rear axle in place of the difficult-handling C-type's swing axle. |
