description

The national licensing authority granted its approval on December 28, 1909. The Renault Type AZ was the predecessor. At the end of 1910, the Renault Type CB replaced the model.

A water-cooled four - cylinder engine with a bore of 80 mm and a stroke of 120 mm produced 11 to 12 hp from a displacement of 2413 cm³ . The engine power was sent to the rear axle via a cardan shaft . The maximum speed was specified as 38 km / h to 56 km / h, depending on the gear ratio.

There was a choice between a normal and a lower, longer chassis . A wheelbase of 272 cm enabled a vehicle length of 386 cm and a wheelbase of 294.3 cm enabled a vehicle length of 405 cm. The track width of 134 cm and the vehicle width of 161 cm were identical. Another source gives either 272 cm or 295 cm wheelbase, 380 cm or 405 cm length and 160 cm width. The turning circle was given as 10 meters. The chassis weighed 750 kg, the complete vehicle 1400 kg. There was a choice of double phaeton , torpedo , limousine and landaulet . The price for a chassis was between 9,100 and 9,600 francs .

On June 30, 2005, Christie's auction house auctioned a 1910 landaulet for £ 47,000 . On June 21, 2009, a sedan from 1910 was offered at an auction in Monaco . The estimated price was between 40,000 and 60,000 euros.
