The Horch 853 was introduced in 1935 by the Horch factory, part of Auto Union (later Audi). The 853 was designed as a luxury grand tourer, intended for the wealthy elite of society. The Spezialroadster, a modified version of the 853, was designed and built by the body shop Erdmann & Rossi, based in Berlin. Erdmann & Rossi was known for their high-quality, custom-built bodies for the elite of Europe.

A pinnacle of European Pre-War Design

The Horch 853 Spezialroadster was powered by a 5.0-liter eight-cylinder engine, which produced about 120 horsepower. This power was considerable for the time and enabled the car to reach a top speed of about 135 mph, which was impressive for a vehicle of this size and luxury.

Only a handful of Horch 853 Spezialroadsters were built, making the car extremely rare and valuable. Today, the car is considered one of the most desirable classic cars in the world. Thanks in part to their rarity, craftsmanship, and historical significance.

The Horch 853 Spezialroadster is a symbol not only of the technical progress and craftsmanship of the 1930s, but also of the culture of luxury and exclusivity that prevailed among the European elite before World War II. It is one of those cars that represent an era and still evoke admiration for their beauty and technical performance.
