Given it looks like war years and even if they may have only been 8 st each , that’s still 2 tons, which would have crushed that suspension. Apparently this was what those crazy folks at Auto Union did to test body strength and "safety " in the 1930s. Here they are at it again with an Audi 920. Germans, what are they like?  CreepingJesus, MiniMinorMk3 and Yoss 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all that weight on it , it should at least be sitting very low on the suspension even if they took the photo in the 3 seconds before it collapsed completely. Also presumably it was made with a separate chassis and body and hence the roof would not have been very strong either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the rear supports are obscured. Muniphobia, J R Hartley, Yoss and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, VAG ( or their predecessors) were cheating on tests even back then, but I suppose compared to what else was happening in Germany in the 30s it’s pretty insignificant.
