High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Professor Dr Robert Eberan von Eberhorst (born October 23, 1902 in Vienna), was a noted Austrian engineer, who designed the Auto Union Type D Grand Prix racing car. Born into Austrian nobility, the family shortened its name when the nobility was abolished in Austria in 1918. He studied at the Vienna Technical University until in 1927 he joined the Institute for Automotive Engineering at Dresden Technical University as an assistant. In 1933 Dr Ferdinand Porsche persuaded him to join Auto Union as Head of Experimental Work in the racing department. The design of the Auto Union Silver Arrow Type D (1938/1939) was his work. With a swept volume of three litres in accordance with the then F1, the supercharged V12 rear-mounted engine could develop 480 bhp (360 kW) which obviously contributed to the Grand Prix victories of Tazio Nuvolari and Hermann Muller. Eberhorst was heavily involved in the initial testing of each new racing car, developing an on-board recording instrument to plot parameters such as car speed, engine speed, gear change and braking points.
