Aigle Coupé (s/n 0195 EL)
26/03/1952 Automobil Revue (no.
14, p. 2):
“Daneben steht ein ganz in Rot gehaltenes Ferrari-Coupe auf
dem Chassis 195 Inter mit 2,3-Liter-Motor. Das Kühlergesicht wandelt das
bekannte Ferrari-Oval auf neuartige Weise ab: Die horizontalen Gitterstäbe
sind in der Mitte leicht zurückgebogen, während die vertikal verlegten
Stäbe stark konkav gekrümmt sind und eine schräg rückwärts
verlaufende Gitterfläche ergeben. Der Lufteintritt zum Motor wird von einem
auf der Motorhaube angeordneten Gitter aus stark gewölbten Chromstäben
mit anschliessendem Kühlluftkanal gebildet.
Im Gegensatz zu der ungebrochenen
Hecklinie der Bugatti-Karosserie besitzt dieser ausserordentlich sportlich wirkende
Wagen ein abgesetztes Heck, wodurch sich nicht nur eine reizvolle Gestaltung
der Silhouette, sondern auch ein steiler stehendes Heckfenster und eine dementsprechend
verbesserte Sicht nach hinten ergibt.”
