Summary
This 1934 Hydroplane Rafale V, formerly Aurora, is a meticulously rebuilt record-breaking racing power boat with a unique provenance, having been owned by Emile Picquerez and Commodore Gérard. Powered by a massive 36-liter Hispano-Suiza V12 aero engine, this Chauvière-built hydroplane achieved speeds over 130 km/h and won the President of the Republic's prize. It survived WWII and has been impeccably restored, preserving almost all original materials, making it a truly unique piece of racing history.
