Synonymous with prestige and luxury, Renault Reinastella came in various guises. Its different body designs were produced by the Renault workshops as well as by the leading independent coachbuilders of the time, such as Binder, Letourneur & Marchand, and Kellner.

Renault Reinastella came with the first inline eight-cylinder engine developed by the marque. With displacement of 7.1 litres and other technical assets such as the nine-bearing crankshaft and twin carburettors, a length of 5.4 metres and weighing in at 2.7 tonnes, Renault Reinastella was certainly outstanding in every way.

With a rear suspension system developed by Renault, comprising two cantilever oblique springs completed by a transverse leaf spring, Renault Reinastella reached a speed of 135 kph with remarkable comfort. A testimony to its unbeatable comfort, Renault Reinastella became the official car of the French Presidency.

LOGO
In 1930, Renault Reinastella lost its diamond, originally placed in the middle of the bonnet, and replaced it with the comet head that already adorned its bodywork (this was the emblem of the Stella range, after all). This range became Renault’s prestige line-up in the years leading up to the Second World War.
