description

This model was not presented to the licensing authority. Nor does it appear in the public sales catalog. It was a mixture of the chassis of the Delage Type T and the motor from Delage Type R . However, the engine type is indicated as 4 GM 1 . Delage offered the model from 1911 to 1912. Predecessor was the Delage Type L .

A four-cylinder engine from Établissements Ballot powered the vehicles. It had a 65 mm bore and 110 mm stroke . This resulted in a displacement of 1460 cm³ . The classification according to  Cheval fiscal was in the range 8 to 9 and the real engine power was 13  hp .

The chassis had a track width of 1160 mm and a wheelbase of 2250 mm . The only known body shape was an open two-seater in the transition from the Phaeton to the Torpedo .
