The principal production Breguet electric, built at Anglet on a central backbone tube with body outriggers and an aircraft-cockpit-like two-seat envelope. Its extremely narrow driven rear axle eliminated a conventional broad rear track and helped create the long tapered tail. The control system supplied 36 volts for first and reverse and 72 volts for second. Advertising claimed 100 km range only at a steady 20 km/h; approximately 65 km at 40 km/h is the more useful published comparison. It cost 56,000 francs in August 1941. A 1942 example in the Louwman Museum is among the last of the run, while another surviving car carries chassis number 94.

Research notes

Just under 200 Type A-series production vehicles are reported by the Louwman Museum; surviving chassis 94 confirms numbered output but no exact final serial is published.
