The Peugeot Type 135 was a sizable automobile manufactured by Automobiles Peugeot between 1911 and 1913, with a total production of 376 units. This model marked Peugeot's final large car until the arrival of the 1920 Peugeot Type 156, as manufacturing was halted due to the onset of the First World War. In the French luxury segment, it competed against models such as the Renault CE and the Vauxhall A12.
Equipped with an upgraded 5-liter inline-four engine delivering 22 horsepower, the Type 135 closely mirrored its predecessor, the Type 134. Its aerodynamic design achieved a drag coefficient of 0.75, which was notable for that era.
The most frequently seen body style was the Torpèdo cabriolet, featuring a detachable roof that attracted luxury clientele.
