The Society of the Spectacle: Voisins at Pebble Beach

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

We have to admit that Voisin was only an automotive name that hung somewhere in the back of our mind, along with Buick and Lincoln until we got to Pebble this year. A long-past-gone luxury marque with an illustrious history that ended long before we were born. That said, even the most incredible Lincolns and Buicks have nothing on the insane vehicles Gabriel Voisin came up with during the first half of the century. If Saab can claim to be born from jets, Voisin automobiles were directly birthed from the loins of the glorious age of early propeller aviation. If looks could stun, these cars' phasers are set on "kill." And the switch is stuck there.
