Renault Type Y

The Renault Type Y was an early passenger car from Renault, also called the 10 CV, and the national authority approved it on 14 January 1905. It replaced the Renault Type U. A water cooled two cylinder engine with a 100 millimetre bore and a 120 millimetre stroke displaced 1,885 cubic centimetres and gave 10 PS, sent to the rear axle by a cardan shaft, for a stated top speed of 42 to 51 kilometres per hour depending on the gearing. On a wheelbase of 246 centimetres the car was 340 centimetres long and 155 centimetres wide, and the bare chassis weighed 750 kilograms.
