1935 Delahaye 135 Sp\u00e9cial<\/h1>\n

In 1936 the ideal French sports car was the 135 Special. It used the most developed version of Delahaye’s inline-6 with simple competition bodywork. Many of these cars raced both in the Grand Prix and sports cars races during the pre-war era.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the center of the 135 chassis was a robust six-cylinder engine. It’s simple pushrod design ensured reliability while the modest capacity gave good fuel economy. For almost fifteen years Delahaye used this engine for their most celebrated chassis. For competition, Delahaye engineer Jean Fran\u00e7ois cast a new block and cylinder head that offered significantly more power. This also had an added water passage in between cylinders two and three.<\/p>\n

The Special’s engine offered 160 bhp, up nearly 50 bhp from the standard model. This was mainly due to the new cylinder head which offered a higher 9.5:1 compression ratio, larger vales, a high-lift cam and individual exhaust ports. Known as the 135J, some of these engines were machined on the exterior to reduce weight.<\/p>\n

Like the production version, the Special used a chassis with twin rails that were joined at the center and reinforced by a welded-in floor. Most competition car were fitted with a larger 102 liter fuel tank.<\/p>\n

Many 135 Specials were bodied by Pourtout as dual-purpose road\/racing cars. The sweeping fenders were removable allowing admittance into both GP and sports car racing.<\/p>\n

Racing<\/h4>\n

Delahaye 135s experienced great success in motor sport, especially at the Automobile Club de France-organized events that excluded the dominant German cars by only allowing sport-competition cars. This included the ACF’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, where Delahaye would do particularly well.<\/p>\n

For the 1936 season Delahaye built its own factory team using drivers Albert Divo and Albert Perrot. The cars first real sucess came at the Three Hours of Marseilles where 135 Specials took the top six postitions. A month later was the prestigious French Grand Prix at Montlh\u00e8ry where Delahayes finished second, third, fourth and fifth. Two weeks later Schell and Carri\u00e8re finished third overall at the 24 Hours of Spa.<\/p>\n

Many of the cars were modified with doors for the 1937 season. These were frequently raced at all the major sports car races including Monte Carlo, the Mille Miglia and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This year Delahayes finished second and third at Le Mans. The highlight of the 135’s career came at the 1938 LeMans a year later. During the event Eugene Chaboud and Jean Tremoul took first overall with their 135 Special.<\/p>\n

We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
