Hitler Ordered Mercedes to Build the Fastest Car on Earth. It Never Turned a Wheel.

Mercedes-Benz T80 | Nazi Land Speed Record | Ferdinand Porsche In 1939, Adolf Hitler ordered Mercedes-Benz to build a weapon of propaganda. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche and powered by a 3,000-horsepower Daimler aircraft engine, the T80 was built to hit 750 kilometres per hour on a public Autobahn. It was designed to prove an ideology could outrun the world. But it never turned a wheel. September 1939 arrived first. World War Two cancelled the run. The fastest car Nazi Germany ever built never moved — and the regime it was built to glorify didn't survive the decade. 🎬 The Motor File — Hidden history. Real decisions.
