The '''Rumpler''' was a car developed by Austrian engineer [[Edmund Rumpler]].

Rumpler, born in Vienna, was a designer of airplanes when in 1921 he introduced the [[Rumpler Tropfenwagen|Tropfenwagen]] on the Berlin car show. It was to be the first ''streamline car'' (beating the American [[Chrysler Airflow]] and Czech [[Tatra]] T107). The car featured a mid-engine layout, with a W6 engine. It had three banks of paired cylinders, all working on a common crankshaft. Around 80 cars were built. It was found to have a CW-value of only 0.28.

The test, which was run at a [[Volkswagen]] windtunnel in 1979, surprised engineers of the day. Volkswagen wouldn't beat the value until 1988 with the Passat.

Although the car was very advanced for its time, a big seller it was not. Little problems at the start (cooling), the appearance and the absence of a luggage compartment did not help sales. The car was sold almost solely as a taxi.

The car did become famous, thanks to a film called Metropolis, in which Rumplers found a burning end. Today, only two examples are known to exist, one in the [[Deutsches Museum]] and one in the [[Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin]].
