In the 1910s, Renault developed its range; luxury was still in its infancy and the first ceremonial cars were only coming out. Renault Type DG is a perfect example. This variant of Renault type D had the same chassis as Renault Type CB and shared many mechanical components with this model (launched the previous year in 1912).

Launched in 1913, Renault Type DG was a victoria. Before the first cars emerged, the word Victoria used to refer to a four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage with two seats (plus a seat for the coachman). Renault Type DG adopted the same style of bodywork, although it replaced the horses with an engine.

Inspired by the old horse-drawn carriages, Renault Type DG boasted a high seat for the coachman, located at the front. Passengers used to sit comfortably at the back of the carriage, on the cushions of the bench seat, which was easy to reach thanks to the lower chassis. Long before the age of car tuning, lower chassis made the lives of passengers easier!

As soon as 1913 Renault Type DG was showcasing Renault know-how in the luxury field. The coachwork was outsourced to the Rothschild workshops. Those specialised workshops could rely on over 100 years of traditions, dating back to the times of hackneys, carriages and “conventional” victorias. In 1913, it was indeed possible to have 100 years experience in the automotive field!
