1930's Auto Union race car to be auctioned for $12-15M

To me, this is probably the most beautiful race car ever built.

The car, one of only two in existence, is thought to be the grandfather of modern race cars. It revolutionized racing by putting the driver in front of the engine instead of behind it and reached speeds up to 185 mph.

Still doesn't look like 15 million to me.

I've got 200 I'd put down for it.

How fast was it respectively to it's era?
