Renault Type CQ

The Renault Type CQ was an early passenger car from Renault, also called the 11 CV, and the national authority approved it on 11 April 1912. It was the first mid-range model that Renault sold under the name 11 CV, and the Renault Type DM replaced it in 1913. A water cooled four cylinder engine with a 75 millimetre bore and a 120 millimetre stroke displaced 2,121 cubic centimetres and gave 11 PS, sent to the rear axle by a cardan shaft, for a stated top speed of 31 to 46 kilometres per hour depending on the gearing. On a wheelbase of 300.5 centimetres the car was 421 centimetres long and 161.5 centimetres wide, with a 10 metre turning circle. The bare chassis weighed 650 kilograms and the complete car 1,400 kilograms, and torpedo and limousine bodies were offered, with a torpedo costing 8,200 francs.
