The Peugeot Type 27 is an early motor vehicle produced between 1899 and 1902 by the French auto-maker Peugeot at their Audincourt plant. Only 29 were produced. This automobile had a brougham car body, similar to the older brougham carriage.
The vehicle was powered by a rear-mounted 1056 cc two cylinder four stroke engine, manufactured by Peugeot themselves. The engine's two cylinders were mounted in parallel and not in the V-format used for
chain-drive
mechanism. A maximum speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) was claimed.
The car had much in common with the manufacturer’s more popular
coupé
body designed to accommodate three people. At that time a "coupé" automobile was broadly similar to a closed two door carriage but without the horses.
The Peugeot Type 27 was produced until 1902.
