Renault Type HD

The Renault Type HD was an interwar passenger car from Renault, also called the 40 CV, and the national authority approved it on 9 May 1919. It replaced the Renault Type FI and the Renault Type GX followed it in 1920. A water cooled six cylinder engine with a 100 millimetre bore and a 160 millimetre stroke displaced 7,540 cubic centimetres and gave 62 PS, sent to the rear axle by a cardan shaft, for a stated top speed of 53 to 68 kilometres per hour depending on the gearing. On a wheelbase of 374.3 centimetres the car was 503.5 centimetres long and 176 centimetres wide, and the bare chassis weighed 1,450 kilograms. Buyers could choose torpedo and limousine bodies.
