History of the Horch 930 V Roadsters
The Horch 930 V Roadster represents a glorious era of German automotive history. The model, built from 1934 to 1937, belonged to the generation of the 1930s. The Horch 930 V was an evolution of its predecessor, the Horch 10, and was admired for its striking elegance and technological sophistication. Engineer Fritz Fiedler led the design and technical execution of the vehicle. Special attention was paid to the design of the bodywork, which offered both aesthetic and aerodynamic advantages.
The original technical specifications included a 3.1-liter V8 engine that delivered 62 horsepower. This power allowed the Horch 930 V to reach speeds of up to 115 km/h (71 mph), which was exceptional at that time. The front suspension was an independent system that significantly improved handling and made the driving experience more comfortable. In the context of 1934, this was the same time frame that saw notable events such as the release of the song "Puttin' On the Ritz" by Fred Astaire and the opening of the Empire State Building observation deck. These examples help to contextualize the timing of the vehicle model.
