Renault Type CG

The Renault Type CG was an early passenger car from Renault, also called the 40 CV, and the national authority approved it on 19 January 1911. A water cooled six cylinder engine with a 100 millimetre bore and a 160 millimetre stroke displaced 7,540 cubic centimetres and gave 30 to 40 PS, sent to the rear axle by a cardan shaft, for a stated top speed of 68 to 97 kilometres per hour depending on the gearing. The bare chassis weighed 1,450 kilograms. Buyers could choose torpedo and limousine bodies, and the chassis cost 21,000 francs.
