“The Stutz Super Bearcat for More than 100 Miles per Hour”

In a time when major automotive manufacturers were racing to produce engines with more and more cylinders such as Packard Twelves and Cadillac Sixteens, Stutz opted to stick with their racing heritage, improving upon their inline eight cylinder engine design by introducing the DV32 in 1931. This ‘dual valve’ engine featured dual overhead cams and 4 valves per cylinder. Stutz advertising claimed speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour with the new engine design. Stutz Motor Company paid further homage to their company history by releasing their flagship model, the Super Bearcat, named after their Bearcat model, copied from their race winning car in the early teens.

The Super Bearcat rides on a 116-inch wheelbase, drastically shortened from their standard lengths of up to 145-inches, while still maintaining the same powerful drivetrain, and chassis components as the full-sized counterparts. This Stutz Super Bearcat is one of two remaining cars finished in the Weymann method of stretching fabric over a wooden body structure, instead of the commonly utilized steel or aluminum. This lightweight body design, paired with the short chassis and powerful driveline made for a truly impressive sports car of the era, resulting in the most exciting vehicle produced by Stutz since the original Bearcat in 1911.
