description

The national licensing authority approved the first version on December 2, 1929. The Renault Nervahuit was the less luxuriously equipped basic version. Production ended in 1937. The successor was the Renault Suprastella .

Type TG

The water-cooled eight - cylinder engine with a 75 mm bore and 120 mm stroke developed 100 hp from a displacement of 4241 cm³ . The engine power was sent to the rear axle via a cardan shaft . The wheelbase measured 334.7 cm and the track width at the front 144 cm and 145.4 cm at the rear. The vehicles were 480 cm long and 175 cm wide. The turning circle was given as 16 meters. The radiator was placed in front of the engine. The grille was divided horizontally. There were no vents in the sides of the hood. There was a choice of sedans and convertibles , each with four to five seats.

Type TG 1

The facelift in October 1930 brought vertical ventilation slots in the sides of the bonnet. A longer chassis with a 358.7 cm wheelbase completed the range. In addition to the previous sedans and convertibles, Pullman sedans and coupes were also available .

Type TG 2

In October 1931, the grille was changed slightly so that it was higher in the middle than on the outside. Now a roadster was also on offer. At first there were vertical ventilation slots in the sides of the bonnet, later there were ventilation flaps. The vehicles were either 489 cm or 513 cm long and 174 cm wide, depending on the wheelbase.

Type TG 3

At the beginning of 1932, the facelift brought five equally sized ventilation flaps in the sides of the bonnet.

Type TG 4

In October 1932 the new version was presented at the Paris Motor Show. There were also ventilation flaps in the sides of the bonnet, but no information on the number and size is possible. In contrast to earlier, when the front bumpers consisted of two tubes, one-piece bumpers were now used. Only four-door sedans and Pullman sedans were available.

Type ZD 2

This version received approval on October 14, 1933. A cylinder bore enlarged to 80 mm resulted in a displacement of 4825 cm³ and an output of 120 hp. The five ventilation flaps were higher than before and of different sizes. Two chassis with the same track width as before and 336.2 cm and 358.7 cm wheelbase were available. Sedans, convertibles and convertibles have been handed down on the short chassis , as well as a Pullman limousine on the long chassis. The weight of a chassis was given as 1500 kg. The vehicles were 500 cm or 525 cm long and 185 cm wide.

Type ZD 4

This version appeared in October 1934. The wheelbase had been increased to 339.9 cm and 362.1 cm. The vehicles were 520 cm and 545 cm long and 185 cm wide, as before. There were three to four horizontal vents on the sides of the hood. The offer was limited to limousines and Pullman limousines. However, as before, chassis without a superstructure were also available, which were bodied by body manufacturers. Production ended on March 26, 1935. A variant of this version was the Renault Nervastella Grand Sport , which also received the same type code.

Type ACS 1

On March 26, 1935, the version replaced the previous one. Approval was granted on December 11, 1934. The cylinder bore had been increased to 85 mm, which led to 5447 cm³ displacement. There were no other differences.

Type ACS 2

This version followed in October 1935 without any significant changes.

Type ABM 4

This version was presented in September 1935 and marketed parallel to the ACS 2 type . The engine output was specified with 107 hp. The grille was slightly oval. In the sides of the hood were five closely spaced vents, the lower one of which was shorter than the others. The front bumper was in one piece and curved down in the middle. With a uniform wheelbase of 338 cm and a track width of 145.4 cm, the vehicles were either 509 cm or 520 cm long. The absence of running boards enabled a greater interior width. The short version with four side windows had six seats. The Pullman sedan had six side windows and eight seats. 126 vehicles were built by October 1936.

Type ABM 6

The last version appeared in October 1936. The engine output rose to 110 hp. The grille was now rounded on the sides. There were six ventilation openings in the shape of a parallelogram on the sides of the bonnet . The only body variant was a four-door Pullman sedan with eight seats.
