Renault Viva Grand Sport

The Renault Viva Grand Sport, sold as the Vivastella Grand Sport until August 1935, was a large six-cylinder Renault launched at the Paris Motor Show in October 1934 alongside an updated Nervastella. Marcel Riffard, better known as an aircraft designer, styled it. Its straight six had a displacement of 4,085 cc. Renault signed the well-known pilot Hélène Boucher to promote the car, and in 1934 the make won the Grand Prix de la Baule. Production lasted until August 1939. A prototype of a further updated version was built in the summer of 1939 for the 1940 model year, but that single car was the only one of its type made, so the line ended without a successor.
