description

The national licensing authority granted its approval on September 24, 1926. As a variant of the Renault Type PG , the model had neither a predecessor nor a successor. Production ended in 1928.

The water-cooled six - cylinder engine with 75 mm bore and 120 mm stroke had a displacement of 3181 cm³ . The engine power was sent to the rear axle via a cardan shaft . The maximum speed was specified as 49 km / h to 60 km / h, depending on the gear ratio.

The chassis had a wheelbase of 368 cm, a track width of 144 cm and weighed 1680 kg. The turning circle was given as 13 meters.

The chassis cost 49,000 francs . In October 1927 the price for a five-seat touring car was 62,000 francs and for a sedan 68,000 francs. In addition, a landaulet has survived.

The difference to the similar type PG was in the oil cooler and a different rear suspension.
