Hispano-Suiza H6: The Grand Tourer That Rivalled Rolls-Royce

The Hispano-Suiza H6 is one of the great grand tourers of the 1920s, a technical marvel that stood shoulder to shoulder with Rolls-Royce and Bugatti in the golden age of coachbuilt cars.

Engineering brilliance

Its advanced overhead-cam engine and pioneering servo-assisted brakes were so good that Rolls-Royce licensed the braking design. Like the Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic, the H6 proved that beauty and engineering could share the same chassis.

Coachbuilt elegance

Every H6 was clothed by the finest coachbuilders of the era, making each car unique. It belongs to the same tradition as the Minerva Type AK, celebrated in the golden era of cars.

The H6 did not imitate the best cars of its age. It was one of them.
