Auto Union Model car Collection

Today I present to you my Auto Union Model car collection, a set of scale models that celebrate one of the most iconic brands in German automotive history. These Models faithfully represent the vehicles that marked the racing circuits in the 1930s and helped forge the legend of European motorsport.

A Specialized Model Reseller

As a specialist retailer, I offer a selection of Auto Union model cars that reflects my current inventory. My collection isn't frozen in time; it's constantly evolving based on manufacturers' arrivals and availability. Each model presented corresponds exactly to what I currently have in stock.

My Models are mainly in 1/43 scale , an ideal format for collectors who want to combine detail and ease of storage. You will also find some remarkable pieces in 1/24 and 1/18 , larger formats which allow you to better appreciate the finishing details. Some models in HO 1/87 scale complete this selection for model railway enthusiasts.

The uniqueness of my approach lies in the limited stock . Each model is generally available in one or two copies maximum. This approach guarantees exclusivity and avoids overstocking, but requires me to regularly update the inventory to always offer you the latest news.

Discover the Auto Union Universe in Model

This collection focuses on the Auto Union racing cars that dominated European circuits before World War II. You'll find the famous Type A, Type B, and Type C models—the silver arrows that revolutionized motor racing with their rear engines and cutting-edge aerodynamics.

The Models available include cars driven by motorsport legends such as Bernd Rosemeyer, Hans Stuck, and Tazio Nuvolari. Each model faithfully reproduces the vintage racing cars with their characteristic liveries and specific technical details.

The collection also includes Grand Prix cars and record-breaking models, including those that achieved remarkable speeds on the Reich Autobahn. These exceptional vehicles perfectly illustrate German technical innovation in the 1930s .

The Fascinating History of Auto Union

Auto Union was born in 1932 from the merger of four German manufacturers: Audi, DKW, Horch, and Wanderer. This strategic alliance, symbolized by the four interlocking rings that would later become Audi's emblem, aimed to create an automotive giant capable of rivaling Mercedes-Benz on the racing circuit.

The Auto Union Grand Prix car project was born thanks to the support of the German government and the talents of Ferdinand Porsche. Porsche designed a revolutionary car with a 520-horsepower V16 engine positioned behind the driver, a unique configuration that revolutionized the rules of motor racing.

Between 1934 and 1939, Auto Union achieved numerous Grand Prix victories, set speed records, and contributed to the golden age of German motorsport. These Silver Arrows competed directly with the Mercedes-Benz of the time in memorable duels.

The Silver Arrows Anecdote

There's a remarkable history surrounding Auto Union Model cars and their nickname "Silver Arrows." Contrary to popular belief, Auto Union's metallic livery wasn't an aesthetic choice. In fact, international regulations impose a maximum weight of 750 kg for Grand Prix cars.

Faced with this constraint, Auto Union engineers decided to completely sand down the traditional German white paint to save a few precious grams. This pragmatic decision gave rise to the iconic look of the Silver Arrows, which quickly became a symbol of modernity and performance.

This anecdote perfectly illustrates the spirit of innovation and the pursuit of performance that characterizes Auto Union. Every detail counts in the race for victory, and this philosophy is reflected today in the precision of the Models that reproduce these legendary vehicles.
