1940 German Tatra Type 87 Advertisement


The Tatra works do not try to overcome air resistance with brutal engine force, but give their vehicle the optimum shape which smoothly separates the airstream around the smooth surface of the car, leaving no vortex of air turbulence behind it. The car's excellent performance is also based on balancing the weight of the car to a reasonable ratio for its engineering. Wherever possible, light metals are used. Each part of this car is made of the best material, which is careful selected before it is installed. Therefore, assuring the proverbial robustness and long life of Tatra cars.

Due to the incorporation of the headlights and footboards within the envelope of the body, the interior includes areas that are normally outside, thereby offering five adult persons comfortably space. The supply of fresh air into the vehicle takes place without disturbing the airflow in a new, convenient way.

The motor is an air-cooled eight-cylinder gasoline engine whose single cylinder are closed in 2 rows of 4 cylinders in V-shape at an angle of 90. Each cylinder series is cooled by a fan each; The control of the hanging valves (OHV) takes place for each cylinder series with separate camshaft.
