Indeed.  My puzzles are just so easy..

And to answer the final question - why did Fulda order the car?

This car was developed as a test car for the Fulda high-speed tires for passenger cars and one source says that after several preliminary tests of tires, the SW 38 reached in July 1939 speed 200 km / h.

In the words of designer Prof Koenig-Fachsenfeld:

QUOTE
The big Maybach for Fulda was probably my best job. They needed a very fast, very heavy car to test tyres and we got 240 km/h from the heaviest car in Germany. Dorr & Schreck built it and my only problem was getting Maybach people to lower the high radiator which wasn't needed anyway. But the car was barely completed before the war and it disappeared when the Americans came." You might have noticed that reduced fuel consumption has yet to be mentioned as a benefit of streamlining.
