Renault Vivastella

The Renault Vivastella is an executive car that Renault introduced at the 22nd Paris Motor Show in October 1928 and built for the 1929 to 1939 model years. It was a more luxurious version of the Renault Vivasix and always sat a little below the longer Reinastella in the range. Renault changed it with unusual frequency, and its catalogue often listed two successive generations at once. The 1929 Type PG2 had a 3,180 cc engine of 52 HP, the 1930 PG4 was 15 cm larger, a 65 HP engine came in 1932, and the 5-seat PG5 and 7-seat PG7 followed in 1933. In 1934 the Type ZA2 put the radiator behind the engine and its engine grew to 3,620 cc and 80 HP, and the Vivasport and Viva Grand Sport derivatives were added. The aerodynamic Type ACR1 arrived in 1935, and later versions had a 4,085 cc engine of 100 HP.
