| Successor | Peugeot Type 156 |
The Type 135 was an early automobile manufactured by the French company Automobiles Peugeot between 1911 and 1913 during which time 376 examples were built.[1] It would be the last large Peugeot until the 1920 Type 156 due to the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Its contemporary competitors in the French large car market included the Renault CE and Vauxhall A12.
The Type 135 reportedly utilized an updated version of the then-common Peugeot inline-four engine for a displacement of 5 liters[2], producing a maximum of 22 horsepower, though in most other ways was very similar to its predecessor, the Type 134. It was noted also to have a drag coefficient of 0.75.[3]
The most common body style of the Type 135 was a cabriolet variant known as the Torpèdo, featuring a removable roof.[4]
Type 135A
This was a variant of the primary model that featured improved handling and additional luxury materials used in the car's construction[5], making it more of a luxury car than a practical sedan.[6]
