Tatra is the third oldest automaker in the world. Founded in 1850 by Ignác Šustala and originally a manufacturer of horse-drawn vehicles and railroad cars, the company built its first car in 1897. Over the course of its existence, Tatra became a noted manufacturer of technologically advanced luxury cars. During the 1930s, the make specialized in building streamlined cars powered by rear-mounted air-cooled engines, which were designed by famed automotive engineer Hans Ledwinka. These cars heavily influenced Dr. Ferdinand Porsche when he designed the original Volkswagen Beetle.

Tatra was taken over by the Germans when they occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939. During World War II, the company built vehicles for the German military. Tatra was nationalized by the Czech government in 1945, who switched the company's main focus to the manufacture of commercial trucks and buses. However the company continued to build a limited number of cars, a number of which were exported to the West during the Cold War era.

Tatra was privatized during the 1990s and ceased production of cars in 1999, but continues to build commercial trucks and military vehicles to the present day.
