- Der Wolseley Hornet war ein leichter PKW, den die Wolseley Motor Company von 1930 bis 1936 herstellte. (de)
- La Wolseley Hornet est une automobile légère six cylindres de douze chevaux fiscaux commercialisée en berline, coupé et randonneuse ouverte deux places ainsi que les habituels châssis roulants pour carrosserie sur mesure. Produit par l'ancien constructeur anglais Wolseley Motors Limited entre 1930 et 1936, la Hornet fut dévoilée au public à la fin du mois d'avril 1930. Wolseley avait été acheté aux curateurs par William Morris en 1927. Le minuscule moteur de six cylindres de cette voiture fut décrit par le magazine Motor Sport comme une miniature, reflétant la brève vogue des moteurs à 6, 8, 12 et 16 cylindres censés vibrer moins, à une époque où tous les moteurs étaient boulonnés directement sur le châssis. Cette vogue se tarit à l'apparition des montures souples qui améliorèrent grandement le confort. Les moteurs à arbre à cames en tête de la Hornet Six étaient tellement bons que les voitures construites sur le châssis Hornet Spécial développèrent une réputation exceptionnelle sur la route et en compétition club. L'offre initiale était quelque chose de petit mais puissant pour sa taille. En outre, quatre passagers pouvaient être transportés dans la très légère voiture. Cependant, le marché demanda bientôt plus d'espace et plus de confort, et la nature de la voiture changea. Cela fut contré par la fabrication et la vente de la Spéciale équipée d'un moteur aux réglages encore plus sportifs. La dernière Hornet fut remplacée, à la suite de l'acquisition de Wolseley par Morris Motors, par la Wolseley 12/48, qui était une Morris portant la marque Wolseley, annoncée le 24 avril 1936. (fr)
- The Wolseley Hornet is a six-cylinder twelve fiscal horsepower lightweight automobile which was offered as a saloon car, coupé and open two-seater as well as the usual rolling chassis for bespoke coachwork. Produced by Wolseley Motors Limited from 1930 until 1936, the Hornet was unveiled to the public at the end of April 1930. Wolseley had been bought from the receivers by William Morris in 1927. This car's tiny six-cylinder engine, Motor Sport magazine described it as a miniature six, reflected the brief vogue for less vibratory 6, 8, 12 and 16 cylinder engines soon superseded by greatly improved flexible engine mountings. Their overhead camshaft engines were so good that cars built on their Hornet Special chassis developed an outstanding reputation on the road and in club competition. The initial offering was something of a quart in a pint pot, tiny but powerful for its size. Furthermore, four passengers might be fitted into the very lightly constructed car. However the market soon required more room and more comfort and the car's nature changed. This was countered by making and selling the Special with a more highly tuned engine. The last Hornet was replaced, following acquisition of Wolseley by Morris Motors, with Morris's badge-engineered Wolseley 12/48, announced 24 April 1936. (en)
