Farman A 6

The Farman A 6 was the large luxury car with which Farman returned to car making in 1919, presented at the Paris Salon that year. It carried a 6.6 litre six-cylinder engine with an overhead camshaft and a four speed gearbox, and the engine is described as a copy of a Hispano-Suiza six. Alongside the touring car a sports version was offered, and a road test of a sports tourer timed it at about 90 miles an hour, 144 kilometres per hour. The engine is given as 100 horsepower, about 75 kilowatts, at 2,800 rpm. The A 6 B and the larger NF followed it, and the Farman marque ended its car production in 1931 after building only about 120 cars.
