Renault Type CH

The Renault Type CH was an early passenger car from Renault, also called the 20 CV, and the national authority approved it on 19 January 1911. It was derived from the longer Renault Type CE, had neither a predecessor nor a successor, and went out of production in 1912. A water cooled four cylinder engine with a 100 millimetre bore and a 160 millimetre stroke displaced 5,026 cubic centimetres and gave 22 PS, sent to the rear axle by a cardan shaft, for a stated top speed of 59 to 89 kilometres per hour depending on the gearing. On a wheelbase of 343.5 centimetres the car was 462 centimetres long and 155 centimetres wide, with a 12 metre turning circle. The bare chassis weighed 1,100 kilograms and the complete car 1,700 kilograms, and the chassis cost between 15,000 and 15,500 francs. Double phaeton and roadster bodies are recorded.
