The 1935 Auto Union Type B was a beefed-up evolution of the 1934 Type A. For the Type B, the supercharged 45-degree V16 engine was bored out to 4.9 liters, bumping output to roughly 375 horsepower at 4,800 rpm. To keep the engine mass low, the block and heads utilized exotic aluminum alloys, and a single central camshaft operated the valves via pushrods and rockers. The front suspension utilized independent trailing links sprung by a transverse torsion bar, while the rear relied on a swing-axle setup. As 58% of the car's weight sat over the rear axle, the Type B had great acceleration. However, under heavy cornering loads, the swing-axle's positive camber gain combined with that rear-weight bias resulted in a vicious tendency toward snap oversteer, demanding absolute precision from its drivers to keep the rear tires from breaking loose.
The 1935 Grand Prix season was a brutal heavyweight fight primarily between Auto Union and the Mercedes-Benz W25s, with Alfa Romeo occasionally playing spoiler. Mercedes ultimately dominated the 1935 Championship, while Auto Union claimed victories at the Tunis GP, the Coppa Acerbo, the Italian GP, and the Masarykring to close out the season. The Type B launched the legendary career of rookie Bernd Rosemeyer, the greatest Auto Union driver, whereby he transferred his fearless motorcycle racing reflexes to the twitchy Auto Union chassis.
