The Portuguese Ernesto Freitas wishes to relaunch the French automobile brand of the intervening period wars: Voisin planes.

Ernesto Freitas explained us that his urge to relaunch the brand Voisin came during the reading of an article on the epic and the work of Gabriel Voisin. Fascinated by the old Frenchwomen, the founder of Lusomotors found there there an opportunity to make relive a mythical name and to show the technical capacities of his company.

To honour really Gabriel Voisin and his brother Charles, Ernesto Freitas necessarily had to take place in competition with Bugatti. As in the good old days. His project, still virtual, thus takes place in the trail of the manufacturer of Molsheim. The next stage will be the realization of a model. But the Portuguese already has precise ideas on its racing car.

So, he explains that “the design is not too extreme nor too sports, but with details in reference to the former automobile as well as technical solutions which would not have displeased Gabriel Voisin “. He adds that “the dimensions of the car were thought to adapt itself to the presence of a big engine and why no Diesel“. Indeed, ” VW and Peugeot has fantastic mechanical elements nowadays: engines with a lot of power and couple “. And Here we are, Lusomotors wants to rub himself to Bugatti with a turbodiesel.

So, Ernesto Freitas gave us the following specifications for his concept. Lusomotors Voisin would be a two-seater coupé 4300 mm long, 1995 mm wide and 2700 mm of footing. This propulsion would have engine V12 Diesel of 6 liters with 500 ch of power and a couple of 1000 Nm of origin Audi. It is coupled with a sequential transaxle box (at the level of the back axle) to six connections.

The realization of this automobile passes by investors’ contribution and necessary Nearby help of the owners of the brand.
