While the concept of aerodynamic optimization for everyday cars initially failed, engineers recognized its potential for race car construction early on. At Benz & Cie, they studied the Rumpler Tropfenwagen very closely in order to finally build a monoposto with the best possible aerodynamics based on its model. However, like the Bugatti 32 and Voisin C6 Laboratoire, the Benz RH failed to achieve a major breakthrough.
