FactRenault barely let this Vivastella sit still — from 1936 on, a new version arrived roughly every six months.
In 1935 the new Vivastella (Type ACR1) was introduced with a new aerodynamic body; from 1936 several versions followed at roughly six-monthly intervals (ADB1 and ADB2 from October 1936 to March 1937, ADB3, ADB4 from October 1937 to April 1938, ADB5 from April 1938, and BDZ1), with an even more aerodynamic body and a new 4085 cc engine of 100 HP. The infobox lists the 3620 cc six at 85 HP (ACR1/ABD) and the 4085 cc at 100 HP; the Renault 20/30 succeeded it. The page does not date when each engine was fitted.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Renault's bookkeeping on the Vivastella got so tangled that the company catalogue openly listed two different generations of it for sale at the same time.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
