Peugeot Type 161 Quadriletti - 1921
Unveiled at the 1920 Brussels Motor Show, despite its reduced size it presented careful technology, with a chassis made from one piece of pressed sheet metal and a three-speed transaxle, but as it was very narrow the manufacturer deprived it of a differential. Available with a two-seater body in tandem, or side by side, it quickly gained an excellent reputation for sobriety during the "5 liter can" competitions which were all the rage at the time: it won its category in that of the Ferté-Bernard, where she covered 117.10 km on 5 liters of gasoline, while setting a lap record at 40 km/h!
667 cc
4 in-line
9,5 ch @ 2.450 rpm
