The Zbrojovka Z 18 was a car produced by Československá Zbrojovka in the 1920s.

Background

After the failure of the Disk, Zbrojovka was determined that its next car design would be a success. The company had a new engineering team that included the talented František Mackrle and he designed two new designs, both named Z 26, with different engine sizes.[1] The Board liked the more powerful version, but required the prototype to undergo rigorous testing, including driving over {{convert|9200|km|abbr=off}} across Europe, crossing the Dolomite and Alps and driving as far as Hamburg.[2] The car passed the tests and entered production as the 4/18 or Z 18 in 1925.

Design

The Z 18 had a rectangular frame with rigid axles.[2] The water cooled, two stroke two cylinder engine drove the rear wheels through a three speed gearbox. It had a bore of {{convert|80|mm|in|frac=6|abbr=on}} and stroke {{convert|100|mm|in|frac=6|abbr=on}}, capacity of {{convert|1004|cc|in3|abbr=on}} and a Zenith carburettor.[3]

The standard car was fitted with 730 x 130 disc wheels, although more expensive versions had Rudge-Whitworth wire wheels. The basic body style was a four seat phaeton which cost 35,000 Kčs in 1926. It was open-top with a single door on the left, steering wheel on the right and a bench seat that was accessed by lowering the left front seat.[1]

In September 1926, a limousine version was launched at the Prague Motor Show at a price of 40,500 Kčs. This had a fixed roof with four side windows and more equipment, including an electric cigar lighter and coat hanger. A sports roadster was also available, priced at 45,000 Kčs. Gradually over time, two and four door phaetons, landaulets and other custom designs were added to the range.[1] There was also a pickup truck capable of carrying a {{convert|500|kg|lb|abbr=on}} payload.[4]

Performance

The Z 18 could reach a top speed of {{convert|80|kph|mph|abbr=on}} and had a typical fuel consumption of between {{convert|10|and|11|l/100km|abbr=on}}.[1]

Production

2510 vehicles, including 1000 commercial vehicles, were sold between 1926 and 1930.[4]
