Cyrano (France) - AllCarIndex

Cyrano was a French automobile manufacturer that operated briefly at the turn of the 20th century, specifically from 1899 to 1900. The company specialized in producing voiturettes, which were small, lightweight cars designed for urban use.

The original Cyrano voiturette was equipped with a single-cylinder horizontal engine, which provided the necessary power for its compact design. In 1900, the company upgraded its engine to a more powerful 2-cylinder unit. This model featured a belt-and-pulley transmission system, with final drive accomplished through spur gears to the rear axle, enhancing its performance and reliability.

Cyrano offered its vehicles in two configurations: a 2-seater and a 4-seater, catering to different consumer needs. Despite its short operational period, the brand contributed to the early development of the automotive industry in France.
