Renault Type BY

The Renault Type BY was an early passenger car from Renault, also called the 20 CV, and the national authority approved it on 29 December 1909. It replaced the Renault Type AS. A water cooled four cylinder engine with a 100 millimetre bore and a 140 millimetre stroke displaced 4,398 cubic centimetres and gave 20 to 22 PS, sent to the rear axle by a cardan shaft, for a stated top speed of 55 to 89 kilometres per hour depending on the gearing. The bare chassis weighed 900 kilograms. Buyers could choose double phaeton, touring car, limousine and cabriolet bodies, and the chassis cost 15,200 francs.
