Future meets past

The concept named after the racing legend Bernd Rosemeyer has been on show in the museum mobile in Ingolstadt. Its sporting purist design is distinguished by powerful forms, a 16-cylinder mid-engine and numerous innovations. The concept provides an overview of the past and future of car manufacture.


Highlights

Flowing lines
The aluminium body is defined by flowing lines from the monumental radiator grille to the stretched, gently sloping engine cover with its air intakes.

Monitors

In place of rear-view mirrors, the car has a number of cameras that project the vehicle’s surroundings on to monitors in the cockpit.

Engine
A window in the cockpit reveals the concept’s heart, the 16-cylinder engine, a common configuration in racing cars of Rosemeyer' time.

Lighting

Clear-glass lenses conceal high-intensity xenon headlights protected by metal covers. The headlights pop up into action when needed.

Cockpit

Racing-car cockpit: fire-resistant cabin with leather-upholstered seats and a panoramic windscreen echoes the purist design of the TT.
