Renault Type T

The Renault Type T was an early passenger car from Renault, also called the 7 CV, and the national authority approved it on 9 February 1904. Its production ended the same year. A single cylinder engine with a 100 millimetre bore and an 110 millimetre stroke displaced 864 cubic centimetres and gave 7 PS, sent to the rear axle by a cardan shaft, for a stated top speed of 31 to 51 kilometres per hour depending on the gearing. On a wheelbase of 230 centimetres the car was 340 centimetres long and 150 centimetres wide, and the bare chassis weighed 540 kilograms. Buyers could choose tonneau and phaeton bodies.
