Renault Type CD

The Renault Type CD was an early passenger car from Renault, also called the 18 CV, and the national authority approved it on 21 December 1910. A water cooled six cylinder engine with an 80 millimetre bore and a 140 millimetre stroke displaced 4,222 cubic centimetres and gave 17 to 18 PS, sent to the rear axle by a cardan shaft, for a stated top speed of 47 to 71 kilometres per hour depending on the gearing. The bare chassis weighed 1,100 kilograms. Buyers could choose double phaeton, touring car, limousine and roadster bodies, and the chassis cost 14,500 francs.
