Finally, things seem to be going well for Adolph Hitler with a rare 1939 sports car that was commissioned by Adolf Hitler on the verge of commanding the highest price ever paid for an automobile.
The price is expected to touch as high as $12 million, reports said.Reportedly, when in 1933 Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany, he offered as much as 500,000 reichmark to a company to design a race car so that he could put on show Germany’s technological advancement.
It was Mercedes-Benz that had landed the job of putting the best in German design to put on display, but Ferdinand Porsche, who worked with Auto Union (now Audi), could get the finances to put the car together. And the car came into being.For the next few years, the car was modified into the 1939 Auto Union D-Type. And here it is today about to get fetch a high price for its owners.
