In 1932, Tatra designed a prototype automobile, with a rear engine, in the same league as the Volkswagen. In 1934, another car went into production: the Tatra 77.

It was a big car with a V8 rear engine. A few hundred were made before the introduction of T87, still with a V8 but of a more modern design. The wood and steel body was replaced by a unibody, the car was lighter and the engine, now made of aluminum, created a better balance of weight between the front and the rear axle.
