The original model: a pioneer of innovation
The 1906 Sizaire and Naudin race represents one of the boldest creations of its time. Developed by brothers Georges and Maurice Sizaire in collaboration with Louis Naudin, this car revolutionized automobile construction conventions with its universal joint transmission system and independent front wheels, a remarkable innovation for the time.
This racing model was distinguished by its exceptional lightness and its 6-horsepower De Dion-Bouton single-cylinder engine, a simple yet fearfully effective mechanism. Its streamlined body and avant-garde design made it a formidable competitor on the tracks of the era, capable of rivaling far more powerful machines thanks to its featherweight.
The remarkable performance of this Sizaire and Naudin greatly contributed to establishing the nascent reputation of French motorsport, paving the way for future French competition cars that would mark the history of motorsport.
Sizaire and Naudin: the builder's audacity
Founded in 1905 in Courbevoie by the Sizaire brothers associated with Louis Naudin, this brand perfectly embodied the spirit of innovation that characterized the nascent French automobile industry. In a context where most manufacturers favored brute power, Sizaire and Naudin focused on technical ingenuity and optimization of the power-to-weight ratio.
The brand's philosophy relied on revolutionary technical solutions for the time: independent front suspension, universal joint transmission replacing chains, and design prioritizing maneuverability. These innovations placed Sizaire and Naudin among the most respected manufacturers of the early century, attracting a clientele of discerning enthusiasts and demanding drivers.
Unfortunately, like many manufacturers of the 1910s, the brand did not survive the economic upheavals of the interwar period, leaving a considerable technical legacy in the history of French automobiles.
A legendary victory against the giants
The most significant story of this Sizaire and Naudin race remains its victorious participation in the 1906 Voiturettes Grand Prix on the Sarthe circuit. Against competitors that were much more powerful, including Peugeot and De Dietrich, the small Sizaire and Naudin created a sensation by making it to the podium.
This exceptional performance was explained by a bold strategy: where its competitors had to stop frequently for mechanical issues related to their complexity, the Sizaire and Naudin continued its journey with clockwork regularity. Its seemingly simplistic single-cylinder engine proved to be exemplary in reliability over distance.
This victory marked a turning point in the approach to automobile competition. It demonstrated that technical ingenuity and reliability could triumph over brute power, a lesson that would have a lasting influence on the philosophy of French racing cars. The contemporary press hailed this "victory of French intelligence" that contributed to forging the reputation of innovation of the French automobile industry.
This heroic era, when craft manufacturers could still challenge established big brands, represents a golden age of technical creativity that still fascinates classic car enthusiasts today.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
