The Most Beautiful Car You’ll See Today: The 1938 Adler Trumpf Rennlimousine
Its shape wasn’t built to be pretty, it was designed to produce on the racing circuit. That’s what makes this vehicle so remarkable. The pursuit of functional performance yielded a truly incredible visual design. It is a breathtaking vehicle, one whose curves are almost intoxicating, but its style is purely substantive. Under the hood, the 1938 Adler Trumpf Rennlimousine is powered by a 56 horsepower inline four-cylinder engine. That was a competitive powerhouse in the 1930s. At the time, it presented a great power-to-weight ratio and sported one of the best aerodynamic designs on the road. This made it a beast to be reckoned with, albeit for a very short time.

Your Say
A 56 hp four banger must look like a pea in a box car under that bonnet. Beautiful lines. I've often wondered why car makers today don't risk coming out with a model that is designed like a 30's or 40's car, but with modern technology. I honestly think such a car would sell well.
