Por Martin Swire
The Alfonso is widely recognized by Motoring Historians as being the world’s first real sports car. Designed by Marc Birkigt, a Swiss citizen (as were all Hispanos) and financed in Spain, hence the name - Spanish-Swiss (Hispano Suiza), the Type 15T was originally a racing machine built to contest the 1910 Coupe des Voiturettes.
