If you ate a magic time donut and travelled back to the year 1895 with the intent of buying a sports car, do you have any idea what you'd buy? It doesn't matter, because you'd really only have one choice: the Bollée Voiturette. This single-cylinder, three-horsepower, mid-engined monster was, arguably, the first production sports car ever made. Galpin Motors' very own Beau Boeckmann invited Jason to put this thesis to the test on his 1897 Léon Bollée Voiturette.
