1937 BMW 328 Wendler Coup\u00e9<\/h1>\n

In June of 1937 Hans Kepler ordered a bare chassis from BMW to be bodied into the Stromlinien Coup\u00e9 by Wendler. It was untypical of the usual attractive coachwork Wendler adorned the chassis with.<\/span><\/p>\n

The car was built as prototype based on the aerodynamic principles of Paul Jaray. The final shape was drawn by Baron Reinhard Koenig-Fachsenfeld and by Helmut Schwandner a Wendler to include cut-outs on the front end for the radiator. The design was highly successful and achieved a drag coefficient of 0.38 cd for a top speed of 175 kph.<\/p>\n

The unusual Wendler Stromlinien Coup\u00e9 was last seen at the 2009 Villa d’Erba in a special display of German aerodynamic prototypes.<\/p>\n
