Renault Type ER

The Renault Type ER was an early passenger car from Renault, also called the 12 CV, and the national authority approved it on 20 November 1916. The Renault Type FK followed it in 1917. A water cooled four cylinder engine with a 75 millimetre bore and a 120 millimetre stroke displaced 2,121 cubic centimetres and gave 12 PS, sent to the rear axle by a cardan shaft, for a stated top speed of 38 to 51 kilometres per hour depending on the gearing. On a wheelbase of 306 centimetres the car was 431.5 centimetres long and 161.5 centimetres wide.
