1939 Mercedes-Benz weltrekordwagen T80 600kmh or 373 MPH.MOV

Land speed record car from 1939 MB weltrekordwagen T80. Top speed 600 km/h.

[@notinterested5787]

The blurb in the museum says it was designed to be the fastest car on four wheels. Uh, that car has SIX wheels!

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

Yep, sure does! American Eagle claimed fastest woman on four wheels but amongst all the other BS it had five!

[@BfmvOwnz1]

i wonder how much this car must be worth today... probably around sixhundred billion lol

[@Big1_]

A turbine car was needed to win this car in 1975 reaching 710 km/h only... that´s pathetic if we are talking about 35 years later. How i love the German Technology...

Mercedes-Benz T80, 600Km/h auf einer öffentlichen Autobahn im Jahr 1938, Mercedes könnte heute exakte Kopien des T80 massenhaft produzieren und die wären straßentauglich. Die deutsche Ingeneurskunst ist einmalig und spitze in der Welt. Ich fände es sagenhaft gut wenn Mercedes_Benz den T80 neu auflegen würde, mit heutiger Technologie und mindestens genausoschnell wie der Rekordwagen Mercedes-Benz T80 von 1938. Ich denke die würden in einer Neuauflage von 1938 Stück für 1938000€ je Fahrzeug schon bei der Ankündigung bereits ausverkauft sein. warum produziert mercedes denn nicht ein so schnelles auto wie den Mercedes T80 den jeder haben will ??

[@robthomson6780]

600 kmh on wire wheels? That means 600kmh on tube tires! You would have to be crazy!

[@jdogrulezgaming8515]

It isn't a jet with wheels it has a three thousand horsepower bf109 tuned engine. Remember the first jet plane was tested a week before ww2 in Germany and this was designed in 1937 but completed in 1939.

Cyber Formula Even before the Cyber formula anime was a thing. The only thing missing is the cyber system.

[@Vipera01]

Ehra-Lessien in Germany is better than Nardo. That has a nearly 10 km long straight. Supercars like Bugatti Veyron are usually tested on that.

[@375GTB]

Bonneville is over 15 Miles per run... Ignoramus Euro-Turds!

[@johnmarshall4442]

What type of tires were used on these cars ?

[@nigelcarren]

Am I correct in assuming this is powered at the wheels? WOW, so sad yet alluring having never being tested. I would love to know if she could hit that 373MPH design speed? Incredible engineering.

[@kristianrolandforis7191]

I really know but I don't know where they can test the car but that's it

To the end of The world

[@trance9158]

Thanks to Porsche.

[@TunekoLtd]

Roads arent that smooth at high speeds and there are turns and other things you cannot control which are big safety risks. High speed testing is done at oval speed rings like Nardo or salt flats

[@trance9158]

Designed by Ferdinand Porsche no less.

[@TunekoLtd]

Ofcourse there are still peole who test their own sport cars top speeds on public roads, but those arent 600 km/h speed range. Even 300 km/h starts to feel bumby ride in BMW M5 on most motorways

[@BlackJaguarGX64]

Fegel-Cedez

[@asbeitemu]

why cant they take it to the road now ?

[@basswarnow]

It's a unique piece of history, the only prototype ever built. They are never going to let it hit the road.

[@johanneshofmann7513]

It is to expensive to build

[@asbeitemu]

thats a shame :(

[@jasonpalmer95]

All it is is a jet with wheels in fixed position.

[@375GTB]

FAHRT!

[@trance9158]
