De Dion-Bouton Type CJ

The Type CJ was the De Dion-Bouton car that carried the company's V8 engine of 1910. The engine displaced 6,107 cc and was rated at 35 CV, about 26 kW, and De Dion-Bouton became the first maker to put a successful mass-produced V8 engine into series production with it. The company followed the Type CJ with a smaller 3,534 cc V8 in the Type CN soon afterwards, and the V8 continued to appear in the range until 1923. The company later described the V8 as its last real innovation before the long postwar decline.
