TATRA - O " Tio-avô " dos nossos Carochas...

Tanto faz... É topic na mesma. Só incomoda é terem metido o motor em "V" em vez de horizontal.

Em 1961, a VW foi obrigada a pagar, 3 milhões de Marks à TATRA, por "inspiração" no TATRA...

"1961, Volkswagen paid the Ringhoffer-Tatra group of Czechoslovakia 3 millions Deutsch marks. In the face of overwhelming evidence, members of the Porsche family accepted that a significant amount of the original ‘People’s Car’ design (particularly, the body styling, torsion suspension and rear-mounted air-cooled engine) was, in fact, copied by Ferdinand Porsche from the revolutionary designs of Professor Hans Ledwinka. These had been patented by Tatra in the early 1930s, and had featured on the ‘T97 Tatra’, first produced in 1936. Prior to WWII, although faced with a mystifying labyrinth of corporate structures which was deliberately designed to isolate the ‘Nazi’ leaders from liability, the directors of the Tatra company had filed a lawsuit against ‘KdF,’ but this automatically disappeared when Hitler’s forces rolled down his nice new Autobahns into Czechoslovakia."

E continuo admirado, pelo facto dos moderadores, colocarem este tópico, como off-topic???????

Não percebo...

Se tem TUDO a haver com a história do Carocha, e da VW...
