The Auto Union Type C8 

The Type C8 concept is a road hypercar that would attempt to tribute to the great German sports car brand that was Auto Union before it became Audi.
It’s meant to be an extreme sports car with radical features such as an enormous engine, a very low profile, and some rather small dimensions but unlike my previous concepts, I wanted to be close to an actual production car so I tried to work with realistic proportions for the measurements to be close enough to some of its potential concurrent like the Lamborghini Aventador and the Bugatti Veyron in order to be produced with little modifications. 
Its look is defined by the idea of ​​exhuming the sense of the irrational and the raw power which Auto Union was associated with in the late 30's, with the technological refinement and the sense of sophistication that the brand that has become nowadays inspires.
I have chosen the uncompromised “Type C” model from 1936 as first source of inspiration in order to highlight the inflammatory genetic of Audi.
As the original Type C was equipped with a 16 cylinders, I thought the Type C8 could be mounted with the W16 from the Bugatti Veyron. And since Bugatti and Audi belong to the same group, the Type C8 could use the Veyron as base.
I also wanted to stick to the contemporary visual identity of Audi so I took the standard bearer of Audi, the R8 as third reference.
So the aesthetic of the Type C8 would be guided by the primitive ferociousness of the original Auto Union TypeC, the contemporary technical features of the Bugatti Veyron and the elegant precision of the civilised Audi R8.

The Raymanta is inspired by the extremely aerodynamic prototypes from the sixties pioneered by Bertone like the Bertone Lancia Stratos Zero and the Alfa Romeo Carabo but also the Pininfarina 512s or the Modulo.
