The car featured a side-valve four-cylinder engine of 1327cc (12 HP)[2] and sat on a 2,600 mm (102.4 in) wheelbase.[1] Three different body styles were offered - a two-seater roadster, a tourer and a closed saloon.[3]
The Butterosi was not held in universally high regard: in his book French Vintage Cars, John Bolster writes "Some people think all vintage cars are good, which only proves that they have never owned a Butterosi!".[2]
In addition to assembling its own 12 HP model, Ponderosi was the French importer for American Mitchell cars from Wisconsin.[1]
