Traction Avant

In the Traction several engines were used.
The Perfo 11 engine has 56 bhp.
The 11D engine has 63 bhp.
So if you don't have a 11D engine, this would be a good place to start. The big advantage is that no other modifications are needed which maintains the originality of the car. When more power is wanted, a 1911cc ID/DS engine can be fitted. This can be done in combination with the 4 speed gearbox, or the gearbox can be fitted without the DS engine. On the 15 Six, a later type DS engine and (5 speed) gearbox can be fitted. Up to 130 bhp should make a very fast Traction.
