GraphQL arguments on Object in query

I want to execute a query like this:

{
  houses(owner: "Thomas") {
    id
    color
    cars(type: "Sports Car") {
      name
      year
    }
  }
}

But this returns an error:

"message": "Unknown argument \"type\" on field \"cars\" of type \"House\".",

However, I'm able to execute this properly:

cars(type: "Sports Car") {
  name
  year
}

Is what I'm trying to do even possible?

Thanks in advance!
