About the Auto Union Stromlinie #31 AVUS 1937 Silver Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Auto Union Stromlinie #31 documents the 1937 AVUS streamliner, one of pre-war Grand Prix racing's most radical aerodynamic designs. Sealed one-piece body, no opening panels, bare silver metal finish. A landmark pre-war Silver Arrows subject for serious motorsport historians.

Few pre-war racing cars pushed aerodynamic thinking as far as the Auto Union Stromlinie, built specifically for the high-speed AVUS circuit's long straights, and this replica captures that genuinely radical enclosed-wheel silhouette.

Diecast Detail on a Radical Streamliner

This sealed diecast body reproduces the Stromlinie's fully enclosed wheel fairings and smoothed, bullet-like nose as one continuous casting, a shape genuinely unlike anything else racing in period beyond its Mercedes-Benz streamlined rivals. The bare silver metal finish these Silver Arrows famously wore, stripped of paint to save weight, is reproduced here as an even, appropriately understated metallic sheen rather than a glossy show finish. The sealed construction suits this streamlined shape perfectly, letting the enclosed bodywork read as one uninterrupted aerodynamic form exactly as period engineers intended, with the #31 racing number the only real graphic element breaking that clean silver surface.

A Landmark in Pre-War Racing Design

The AVUS circuit's uniquely long straights encouraged genuinely extreme aerodynamic experimentation during the mid-1930s, and Auto Union's streamlined entries represented some of the era's most forward-thinking engineering, decades ahead of when enclosed-wheel racing bodywork would reappear elsewhere. For a collector focused on pre-war Grand Prix and hillclimb history, this Stromlinie documents an experimental branch of the Silver Arrows story that mainstream diecast rarely covers. At 1:43, its distinctive enclosed silhouette stands apart from any conventional open-wheel racer, rewarding a buyer who appreciates genuinely unusual automotive engineering history.
