Power80 hp
Works racing type used across the 1905 season rather than separate driver-number models. Hémery won the Circuit des Ardennes and Vanderbilt Cup; period Vanderbilt weigh-in figures were 852 kg for Wagner's car and 859 kg for Hémery's, while later American documentation gives 934 kg. The discrepancy is preserved rather than averaged, and individual race numbers remain configurations of one type.

How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
At least three works cars are documented; two went to Vanderbilt, but no complete chassis ledger proves the total.
