Horch does not build many cars like the Horch 670: a 4-door cabriolet / 2-door cabriolet / 4-door saloon with 6,031 , built from 1931 to 1933 when streamlining and independent suspension were arriving together.
Where it came from
The Horch Type 600 and Horch Type 670, collectively the Horch 12, is a 12-cylinder luxury car made by the German manufacturer Horch. The 670 was built from 1931 to 1934, and the larger and heavier (and consequently lower-performing) 600 from 1932-1933. The V12 engine put the car in a rarified sphere of early 12-cylinder luxury cars.
Under the skin
Under the skin sits 6,031 . The gearbox is a 4-speed manual /optional overdrive. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 3450 mm (Type 670) / 3750 mm (Type 600). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Where it sits in Horch's history is not in doubt: the Horch 8 came before it; it was built at Zwickau, Germany. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Bugatti Type 57, the Chevrolet Suburban, the Hispano-Suiza J12. Nearby in the Horch catalogue sit the Horch 853 Voll & Ruhrbeck Sport Cabriolet and the Horch 10.
The money
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Horch 670 has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
