Renault Vivasport

The Renault Vivasport was a six-cylinder executive car that Renault introduced in September 1933 and built until April 1935, with a larger-engined version made from December 1934 to February 1938. The sport in its name came from combining the engine of the larger Vivastella with the body of the shorter Primastella, which made it brisker than either. The first YZ1 version of July 1933 was built only 21 times before the YZ2 followed, of which 2,172 were made. Renault showed a bisected saloon at the 1933 Paris Motor Show to expose the mechanics. The car had a 3,620 cc side-valve six of 80 hp and a 2,950 mm wheelbase, with prices of 35,000 to 40,400 francs in 1933. The last Vivasport, a Type BCY2, left the factory in February 1938.
