A Legendary Icon of Luxury and Performance

Hispano-Suiza automobiles have long been regarded as one of the greatest automotive creations of all time, earning favor among industrial tycoons, Hollywood elites, and European royalty. These remarkable automobiles solidified the marque's place at the pinnacle of luxury car manufacturing following the end of World War I.

The Revolutionary Hispano-Suiza H6

First unveiled at the 1919 Paris Show, the Hispano-Suiza H6 quickly became a sensation. It featured an advanced four-wheel-braked chassis, a revolutionary engineering feat that perfectly complemented the car’s powerful, aircraft-inspired engine. The model set new standards for speed, luxury, quality, and craftsmanship, successfully competing with prestigious marques such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Bugatti, and Isotta Fraschini.

Designed with cutting-edge aeronautical engineering principles, the 6.6-liter straight-six engine was cast in aluminum with steel cylinder liners, utilizing a fixed-head design with two valves per cylinder, seven main bearing crankshaft, and full-pressure lubrication. The H6B, introduced in 1921, was an evolution of the original H6, incorporating refinements to enhance performance and durability.
