1936 Dubonnet Dolphin 🚀 The Car That Beat Ford Without More Horsepower!
The Dubonnet Dolphin was one of the most revolutionary automobiles ever built. Created in 1936 by French inventor André Dubonnet, this incredible aerodynamic prototype proved that intelligent engineering could outperform raw horsepower. Powered by a nearly stock 85-horsepower Ford Flathead V8, the Dubonnet Dolphin reached over 108 mph—almost 30 mph faster than an identical Ford V8 tested on the same day. Even more impressive, it consumed up to 37% less fuel thanks to its advanced aerodynamic body, rear-engine layout, enclosed wheels, aircraft-inspired tail fin, and innovative engineering. In this video, we'll explore the fascinating story of André Dubonnet, the revolutionary suspension he invented, the official Montlhéry speed tests, why Ford purchased the prototype, and how this forgotten masterpiece predicted the future of automotive design decades before the rest of the world caught up.
