Based upon the aerodynamic principles of Paul Jaray, the pioneering Hungarian engineer, the Tatra T87 was the work of Austrian-born designer Hans Ledwinka, assisted by the Czech engineer Erich Übelacker.
Without Tatra, Porsche as we know it would never have existed.
La Tatra T87, fu la prima macchina, studiata in un tunnel aerodinamico. Nel 1936 aveva un cx di 0.36, pari a quello di una Ferrari Testarossa.
