Hispano-Suiza delivered the H6B only as a rolling chassis. To match its remarkable engineering, only the finest coachbuilders were commissioned to design and fit the bodies.
This unusual cabriolet, built by Kellner in Paris, was ordered by the Maharaja of Alwar specifically for his tiger-hunting safaris. During the Great War, Hispano-Suiza had built nearly 50,000 V12 fighter plane engines, powering over half the aircraft, and Hispano owner Marc Birkigt first intended to use the V12 engine for his luxury automobiles. After some tests, though, he concluded that only one bank of the V12 would be sufficient to propel the new Hispano-Suiza car, so he built the H6B with a straight six-cylinder 6.5-liter single-overhead camshaft engine.
