El Hispano–Suiza 15/ 45 HP “Alfonso XIII” es en realidad la evolución comercial de un pura sangre de carreras, el CR35 de la marca, vencedor de la Coupe de L´Auto en Ostende y Boulogne Sur. Sin las limitaciones en cilindrada del reglamento, Marc Birkigt, técnico de la firma, elaboró un potente motor de cuatro cilindros en línea en un solo bloque, con 3418 cc y una potencia cercana a los 60 CV, con apenas 600 kg de peso en las versiones más deportivas. Pero además, Birkigt aplicó todo lo aprendido en los Cr35, como el motor muy retrasado para centrar el peso y otras innovaciones técnicas. El nuevo Cr45, prototipo de competición de los 15/ 45 HP fue puesto a prueba en Mont Ventoux en 1910, logrando la victoria absoluta. La versión de competición, chasis corto, logró numerosos éxitos, tanto en España como en Francia. Esto animó al máximo responsable de la firma, Damían Mateu, a fabricar una versión de calle. El rey Alfonso XIII era un enamorado de las creaciones de la firma española, y tras probar el nuevo 15/ 45 HP, accedió a que el modelo fuera bautizado como “Alfonso XIII”, dando así una mayor relevancia a este automóvil mítico.
El Alfonso XIII fue presentado en el Salón de París de 1910 y se produjo desde 1911 hasta 1914, resultando un éxito de ventas inmediato. La firma garantizaba 120 km/ h, (en Brooklands marcó los 131, 17 km/ h), algo inusual para la época y absolutamente inédito en un coche de su categoría, cilindrada y precio. De hecho, el Alfonso XIII puede ser considerado el primer coche deportivo comercial de la historia. La importante demanda llevó a Hispano-Suiza a producirlo en Francia, desde donde se exportaron a todo el mundo, desde USA a Australia, dando a la firma española un merecidísimo prestigio. En 1913 el Alfonso XIII recibió mejoras que incrementaron aún más su rendimiento, como un aumento de la cilindrada hasta los 3619 cc. Por su alto precio y su manufactura manual, a pesar de su éxito sus ventas se cifran “solo” en cientos de unidades, de las que muy pocas han llegado hasta nuestros días.
Esta unidad es un chasis producido en Levallois Perret entre 1912 y 1913, la primera fábrica de Hispano-Suiza en Francia, y cuenta con el número de bastidor 1961. Fue adquirido hace cerca de una década por un coleccionista españolen mal estado, pero bastante completo. Le faltaba la carrocería de los asientos hacia atrás (posiblemente para convertirlo en camioneta en algún momento de su existencia), aunque el resto del vehículo se encontraba completo y original. Tras una exhaustiva restauración, que incluyó una recreación de la parte trasera de la carrocería, se encuentra en perfectas condiciones. Cuenta, por supuesto con toda su mecánica original – incluyendo el carburador – el sistema de alimentación a presión, la relojería, el alumbrado e incluso detalles como curiosos pilotos de época. Precio 495. 000€ transferido.
