What Car Would Hitler be In Pixar's Cars

[Lex]

You know what's nuts is that in Pixar's Disney's Planes we learn that WWII happened in the Cars universe. Which means there was a Cars Hitler, a Cars holocaust, a Cars Pacific War, a Cars D-Day, a Cars nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a Cars ♥♥♥♥ of Nanking, a Cars Battle of Iwo Jima...

This leads to so many important questions, like: were the Cars Little Boy and Fat Man nukes sentient? Was it a suicide mission? Are ALL Cars nuclear weapons sentient? Did Tsar Bomba have a personality?

What kind of car was Car Hitler? A VW? A forklift?

Was there a Cars 9/11? Were the planes hijacked, or were the planes themselves radicalized?

I could go on...

Probably a Volkswagen, since he founded the company IRL (yes, really).

But seriously though OP, it's just some movies; you should really just relax...

Car Hitler would obviously be a Volkswagen. Since that was the economy car he promised to the people. They were planned to start production in 1940 but.. Well.. A little something called WWII got in the way.

I think Hitler would've been a 1939 Auto Union(Audi) Silver Arrow.

The radiator grill was shaped like Hitler's moustache, and IRL the car was essentially designed as a monument to German engineering superiority. Something you may not know; during the 1930s Germany was banned from researching/developing aircraft engines.

So the sneakey Krauts instead poured millions into developing racing cars powered by scale-model aircraft engines. They were called the Silver Arrows, and completely dominated Formula One racing during the late '30s. The most famous was the Auto-Union, which had a rear-mounted supercharged V12. It's still a fast car by today's standards, faster than a Dodge Viper in a straight line.

Hitler would've have been a VW. The design was largely stolen from a Czech company called Tatra and had very little German influence. Then again, none of the high-ranking Nazi officials actually met the stated requirements to join the SS. Not even SS fuhrer Heinrich Himmler.

At this point I think OP should change the title of the thread so that it doesn't get deleted by mods. Because this is actually pretty interesting.

I agree.

This is what I think Hitler would've been. The whole Silver Arrow program served two purposes; develop engines for the Bf109 fighter project and remind everybody just how superior Germans were. Seems appropriate.

This is the actual car, now more than 80 years old and still race-ready. The fact it survived is nothing short of amazing - was buried in a cave during the war and not found until decades after.
