Founded by aviation pioneer and manufacturer Gabriel Voisin, Avions Voisin produced cars from 1919 to 1939.
Among the technical highlights of these luxury and original vehicles were the extensive use of aluminumand the Knight-type sleeve valve engines.
The design of the bodies was created by Gabriel himself, who said he was helped by architect Le Corbusier. Voisin’s cars were lightweight, with central weight distribution, ample luggage boxes and angular exterior lines. The 1923 Laboratoire Grand Prix was one of the very first cars with a monocoque structure.
