Peugeot Type 9

Motor vehicle

The Peugeot Type 9 was a particular model of early automobile manufactured by the French company Automobiles Peugeot between 1894 and 1897,[1] during which time 87 examples were built.[2] It was equipped with a 1.2 liter v-twin engine made in conjunction with Daimler,[3] one of 257 such vehicles produced.[4] The Type 9 was advertised as the brand's first closed-top family car.[5] Like most European vehicles from this time period, it had very small dimensions and mirrored the design style of horse carriages. A 1894 Type 9 chassis was the first ever vehicle in the world to be equipped with pneumatic tires(by Michelin). It was called L'Éclair and participated in the 1895 Paris-Bordeaux-Paris race.[6]
