This 1940 328 Kamm Coupe (named after the father of German aerodynamicist Wunibald Kamm) was decades ahead of its time, aerodynamically. If it looks familiar, that's because Shelby American, Inc. employed the same principles to make the Cobra Daytona Coupe in the mid-1960s. Essentially, by chopping off the rear end, you can increase the straight-line speed by north of 30% -- a big deal when you're racing across Italy in the Mille Miglia. It's called a Kammback, and plenty of cars today, from Priuses (Prii?) to Corvettes, still use the principle.
