Delahaye 175 S

The Delahaye 175 S represented the company's most ambitious post-war model, targeting the ultra-luxury market with a massive 4.5-liter inline-six engine. With 140 horsepower on tap, it offered effortless performance befitting its status as France's answer to Rolls-Royce. Each car was custom-bodied by legendary coachbuilders, often featuring elaborate interiors with finest leathers and exotic woods. Production was limited to just a few dozen examples, making it one of the rarest French luxury cars.
