description

The national licensing authority granted its approval on September 12, 1919. As a shorter version of the Renault Type FS , the model had neither a predecessor nor a successor. Production ended in 1921.

The water-cooled four - cylinder engine with 95 mm bore and 160 mm stroke had a displacement of 4536 cm³ . The engine power was sent to the rear axle via a cardan shaft . The top speed was specified as 52 km / h to 68 km / h, depending on the gear ratio.

With a wheelbase of 333.3 cm and a track width of 134 cm, the vehicle was 460.6 cm long and 161.5 cm wide. The turning circle was given as 11 meters. The weight of the chassis was given as 600 kg, which seems too little compared to the 1000 kg of the Renault Type FS. The choices were torpedo and limousine .

The following prices have been handed down: Torpedo 20,000 francs , coupé-sedan 22,000 francs and sedan 22,500 francs.
