1935 Dubonnet Dolphin

About the Dubonnet Dolphin… “The financially independent André Dubonnet was developing in France during the first half of the 1930s under the type description Dolphin an aerodynamic car, which however did not inspire interest among the industry. With the knowledge of his time as pilot during the First World War and his success on Europe´s race tracks behind the steering wheel of Bugatti and Sunbeam, Dubonnet was dreaming of a streamlined car, which could also be produced in series. Together with the engineer Chedru, he was creating a car body around the drive with a 3.6 liters V8 engine of Ford, which was strongly focused on a drop shape..........................

Compared with a series model, the French proved that his aero dynamical performance were right, as the car was achieving a maximum speed of 173 km/h (108 mph), while the serial-production Ford was only achieving 131 km/h (82 mph). But this success could not convince any company to produce his car in series and so André Dubonnet was dedicating to other projects and his unique formed car disappeared from the picture.”

...sorry - but in by book, he is better off being away from that car when it hits the wall top first . Also it's why many drivers were against them in the beginning.

Yama/Toy hydrogen powered V8 prototype.



Yamada said a key goal of the project is to retain the sensual and exhilarating performance provided by an internal combustion engine, compared to the near-silent operation of an electric motor. The engine is rated at 450 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque and features a novel eight-into-one exhaust system that Yamada says creates a unique high frequency exhaust note.
