One word answer...
"Autobahnen"...the Opel cars and trucks were all blessed with the requirement that they had to be able to speed consistently at high revs, and not blow up. Although Bart V mentions "68" bhp for the 3.6 litre engine, my information has it that it was 79 bhp, with 4 x 2 drive of course, and an engine that was based on the 1937 Chevrolet but with all the bugs ironed out. They could thus be expected to keep up fast speeds consistently. However whether the rarer Allrad version of the Blitz was much slower because of the extra transmission is arguable.
