Maybach SW38 Streamline



In the 1930s there was much development in aerodynamics for highspeed automobile travel. In 1938 Fulda tires of Germany commissioned Dörr & Schreck to build a streamlined body on the conventional Maybach SW 38. With the help of aerodynamicist Baron Reinhard Koenig-Fachsenfeld this car was designed, built and introduced in 1939. Powered by the Maybach 3.8 litre six, it was capable of  over 200 kph. It was little used due to the outbreak of WW2, and the car disappeared either during the war or shortly thereafter.
