Renault Type ED

The Renault Type ED was an early passenger car from Renault, also called the 18 CV, and the national authority approved it on 24 December 1913. Production ended in 1914 without a successor. A water cooled four cylinder engine with a 95 millimetre bore and a 160 millimetre stroke displaced 4,536 cubic centimetres and gave 21 PS, sent to the rear axle by a cardan shaft, for a stated top speed of 63 to 74 kilometres per hour depending on the gearing. On a wheelbase of 355.5 centimetres the car was 484.5 centimetres long and 176 centimetres wide, and the bare chassis weighed 1,000 kilograms.
