description

The national licensing authority granted its approval on August 4, 1921. As a variant of the Renault Type IR , the model had neither a predecessor nor a successor.

The water-cooled six - cylinder engine with 110 mm bore and 160 mm stroke had a displacement of 9123 cm³ . The engine power was sent to the rear axle via a cardan shaft . The maximum speed was specified as 70 km / h to 92 km / h, depending on the gear ratio.

A short sports version and a long version were on offer. With a wheelbase of 380.2 cm in the sports version and a track width of 150 cm, the vehicle was 488.3 cm long and 179.5 cm wide. The long version with a 399.4 cm wheelbase with unchanged track width enabled a vehicle length of 507.5 cm. The turning circle was given as 15 to 16 meters. The chassis weighed 1680 kg. Touring cars and limousines have survived.
