This photograph captures the essence of early automobile racing history, featuring the 40 HP Panhard in action during the Paris-Berlin Race of 1901. The Paris-Berlin Race, also known as the Paris-Berlin-Paris Rally, was one of the earliest long-distance automobile races, covering a distance of approximately 1,170 kilometers (727 miles) between the two European capitals. The 40 HP Panhard, a pioneering vehicle of its time, was manufactured by the Panhard et Levassor company, founded in France in 1887. This particular model, with its distinctive design and powerful engine, was a favorite among racers due to its impressive speed and reliability. The 40 HP Panhard was powered by a four-cylinder engine, capable of producing an astounding 40 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful vehicles of its era. In this photograph, the 40 HP Panhard is seen in full flight, its engine roaring as it races through the open countryside. The driver, focused intently on the road ahead, expertly navigates the winding roads, demonstrating the vehicle's agility and handling capabilities. The support team, dressed in period attire, follows closely behind, ready to provide assistance if needed. The Paris-Berlin Race of 1901 was a significant milestone in the history of automobile racing, showcasing the technological advancements of the time and the spirit of competition that continues to drive the industry today. This photograph, with its evocative imagery and historical significance, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the early days of automobile racing.
