1934 Hispano Suiza J12 Type 68 sedan

1934 Hispano Suiza J12 Type 68 sedan By Vanvooren

To stay in the race of the very high-end, Hispano Suiza launches this J12, armed with a huge V12 engine of 9.5 liters with overhead valves developing 220 hp.

In addition to its particularly brilliant engine, able to drive this car over 2 tons, the driver of the J12 is at the controls of a model at the top of the technology.

The chassis of the J12 lowered type 68 has boosters and adjustable dampers from the cockpit, it is necessary to control this plane without wings. The maximum speed far exceeds 170 km / h, which is fantastic at the time.

Hispano, whose main activity is in aeronautics, does not benefit from this marvel sold at the prohibitive price of 200,000 francs (bare chassis).

This aristocratic automobile is sold to the best company that has it dressed by the greatest bodybuilders: Binder, Kellner, Henri-Labourdette, Franay or Vanvooren.

This sedan version without center pillar is built by Vanvooren coachbuilder.
