释义 |
Le Dauphin was a French auto-maker established in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris by André L. Dauphin.[1] The company first presented a small two-seater cyclecar in the spring of 1941; production ended in 1942. The car was an open-roof cyclecar with the seats positioned one behind the other.[1] The body was built around a simple tube-based structure, probably inspired by recent developments in airplane construction; there was no separate chassis.[1] The vehicles were produced on a production line at a small factory belonging to Kellner, a coachbuilder previously known for supplying bespoke bodies for chassis of France's luxury car makers. Dauphin versions were made with either a petrol engine or an electric engine, with the motor for the petrol version being a two-stroke unit of 100 cc or 175 cc supplied by Zurcher.[1] However, petrol for civilian use was rapidly becoming unobtainable, and a 2 hp 48-volt electric power unit was substituted.[1] The electric-powered cars were steered from the rear seat, whereas the petrol-engined ones were steered from the front seat.[1] Sources and further reading
