1947 Tatra 87 is a V8 powered low-drag masterpiece!

Glorious looking machine!. My Dad was a truck driver and he drove a Magirus Deutz for a time which, like the Tatra, also used an air-cooled V8!

[@paulmarkham3187]

A great video showing Tatra's excellent road holding and traction in difficult driving conditions. This handling quality is consistently reported in all contemporary reviews and driving reports from the period. Tatras have excellent handling. It's only later writers - who have never actually driven Tatras - that claim otherwise.

So this wasn’t Czechs secret weapon? 😢

Wonderful shape!

this is beautiful

Fantastic demo ! Missed the same car around 2000, for sale in France. It finally went to Switzerland ....

I remember coming across one in Greece in the 1970s, used by a Greek family who had taken it and fixed it up somehow. At the front there was a wooden bench with only the driver while the rear suspension was at its end of travel, with the camber of the wheels completely open. Although it had a special charm; I was a boy, I had never heard of the Tatra and I researched it

[@duanetrivett750]

These cars are great! I always heard they were great in the snow ❄️ with all the weight over the drive wheels . I wonder how many are in the U.S.A. .

[@piotrmalewski8178]

There is not that much weight. It's a small fully aluminium V8. If I remember they have something like 40:60 weight displacement.

Nádhera, naše Tatra! ❤️

Where was it filmed, please

[@tabakrubleber9903]

My mistake. St Moritz was mentioned in the discription

What a strange sound, untypical for Tatra 87..

[@Schlipperschlopper]

This car was the Nazi killer car Nr 1! It killed more Nazi offizers than the Czech resistance!

[@dr80008]

That's nothing but an urban legend circulated by clickbait car blogger hacks.

[@piotrmalewski8178]

What is true however that Japanese consulate in Czechoslovakia would give their consular cars to Polish spies so they could drive around freely, because officially Poland and Japan were in hostile alliances, but secretely the two countries were in an alliance since the two countries had a common enemy and Japan didn't really strust the Reich.

@@ferrochinabisleri1587 just bullshit, it has nothing to do with reality. Just fairly tales by Jay Leno, you can be sure, I am working for Tatra.

What do this car and Woody Guthrie’s guitar have in common? They both kill fascists.

[@charlesameyer1]

Don’t get me wrong. I like the cars!
