ADD TO CART

By Gianni Cancellieri and Cesare De Agostini 1998, Zanini Graphic Editions. Italian text, 171 pages, bound, size 23 x 29 cm, b / w photo 237. Gianni Cancellieri and Cesare De Agostini tell the story of Auto Union, retracing one of the most exciting chapters in the history of motor racing. The legendary brand of the four rings, emblem of the alliance close in 1932 between four German car manufacturers, was imposed with a futuristic rear-engined single-seater, a revolution conceived by the talent of Ferdinand Porsche. The most famous steering wheel aces were called to drive the Auto Union: from Hans Stuck to Achille Varzi, from Bernd Rosemeyer to Tazio Nuvolari. And it was Nuvolari who closed the magic cycle of the Auto Union in glory, which, between 1934 and 1939, was the protagonist of circuits all over the world with its "silver arrows". The book, with an agile cut and a fast-paced pace, makes use of considerable photographic documentation.
