The Horch 853 Voll & Ruhrbeck Sport Cabriolet is a cabriolet automobile produced by German auto manufacturer Horch.[1]
The history of the car remains a mystery. During the war, the Allied bombers destroyed the plant, and along with it the Horch 853 documentation. The car was captured by the French government and fell into the hands of French army Marshal Jean de Lattre de Tassigny. In the post-war period, the car was moved to Switzerland, after which it changed owners multiple times and was restored.
The Horch 853 is equipped with a 4.9440NaN0 straight 8-cylinder engine that produces 120hp, has a 4-speed manual transmission, and is rear wheel driven.[2]
