Only 333 pieces are to be manufactured.
--From 1920s to 930s, Horch's 8 simply represents the number of cylinders.
--The huge yet powerful engine was purely upscale in the 1920s, but it was also the ambition of its creator, Paul Daimler.
--Paul is the eldest son of the legendary Gottlieb Daimler, and since 1924 Paul Daimler has been working on a project to create an 8-cylinder engine by connecting two 4-cylinder engines.
--On the first day of the German Motor Show in Berlin in 1926, the reaction to the model named Horch 8 was extremely challenging.
――It was emphasized that it was Germany's first passenger car equipped with an 8-cylinder engine at that time. It was recorded as 303 in the abbreviation in the company.
--In 1927, Horch had already released its successors, the Type 305 and 306.
-The highlight was the engine increased to 3.4 liters and 65 horsepower.
――Finally, Type 350 became Paul Daimler's last work. He left Horch at the age of 60, and Fritz Filder took over.
--He continued to improve the 8-cylinder series, with significant weight reductions for the Type 350 and 375.
--Under his direction, types 400 and 405 were created.
――The difference between the two types is the length of the wheelbase, and the 405 was the longer version.
――Four years have passed and these two models were considered Horch's last large models and survived from 1930 to 1931.
――In the end, about 8,500 units were produced, so it can be said that this series was certainly a success.
--Types 400 and 405 have eliminated the spirit of Paul Daimler. This is because the successor model was equipped with an 8-cylinder engine designed by Fritz Fielder.
