Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
When French carmaker Pierre-Alexandre Darracq wanted some publicity, he teamed up with German engineer and joint-venture partner Adam Opel to create the Darracq 200 in 1905. The 200 refers to the amount of horsepower erupting from the 25.4-liter V8 that was bolted to a C-beam ladder frame chassis. Intended to break speed records, it was a whippet platform for holding an engine, two seat, and four wheels. And it was fast, Paul Baras, LouisChevrolet, and Victor Demegeot driving it to record velocities in three countries.
