Hydra Schmidt
Even though the name doesn’t sound familiar, you may know this car as a hero car from the blockbuster Captain America: The First Avenger. Famous automotive designer Daniel Simon designs it and is on magnificent and extraordinary luxury cars of the 1930s like Duesenberg or Mercedes. However, the producer wanted this model to be much bigger to emphasize its power and importance (via Top Gear).
That put engineers in a difficult position since no standard car chassis could accommodate such a large body with six wheels. The solution was simple – use a truck chassis, V8 power, and truck transmission and cover it with a seductive and custom-made body. The result is impressive; you can see what’s underneath by looking at the truck tires.
