Renault Primastella

The Renault Primastella, Type PG8, was a mid-size luxury car, or executive car, that Renault manufactured between 1932 and 1935. It was released in 1932 with a six-cylinder 16CV engine derived from that of the Renault Vivastella but with a slightly smaller cylinder bore, and the PG8 was produced until 1933. At the 27th Paris Motor Show in October 1933 the Type PG10 appeared with Renault's aérodynamique body style, most readily recognised by a sloping tail in place of the very vertical one of the earlier car. Renault meant to provide new aérodynamique bodies across its range, which it achieved by the middle of 1934, but the Primastella and the larger cars were already wearing the new look before the end of 1933. The listed top speed was 130 km/h, and the brakes were cable operated on drums at the front and rear.
