The largest Renault was frequently used by the President of the Republique, from the earliest 1908 50CV, through to the Type NM of 1925 to 1928. The Type MC was the penultimate large Renault, produced from 1924 until 1926 as the MC 1. Power came from a 6-cylinder 9,123cc engine, and the Type MC was built on a wheelbase of 3.8 metres or 3.99 metres. The MC was the first Renault to carry the diamond badge. The Type NM was introduced in 1924 and production ended in 1928 when the Type RM Reinastella with 8-cylinder engine replaced the MC/NM
