The Original Model: The Peak of French Luxury
The Renault Suprastella was launched in 1938 as the spearhead of Renault's range, succeeding the prestigious Reinastella. This coach model, with its elegant body and fluid lines, represented the culmination of French craftsmanship in prestige automobiles. The 1939 version benefited from the latest technical and aesthetic advancements before the interruption of civil production.
Equipped with a 5.4-liter inline 8-cylinder engine producing approximately 110 horsepower, the Suprastella offered remarkable performance for its time. Its coach body stood out with its harmonious proportions, imposing grille, and generous chrome, perfectly embodying the French art of living of the 1930s.
Despite its short commercial career interrupted by the war, the Suprastella left a lasting impression with its exceptional finish and driving comfort, establishing Renault as a manufacturer capable of competing with the greatest European luxury brands.
Renault in 1939: Between Tradition and Modernity
In 1939, Renault was already a century-old company with strong industrial expertise. Louis Renault had successfully evolved his family business, founded in 1898, into a diversified production that included both popular vehicles and prestige automobiles like the Suprastella.
This period marked the peak of Renault's creative independence, which developed its own technical and stylistic solutions. The diamond brand had forged an international reputation through its successes in motorsport and technological innovations. The Renault vehicles of this era reflected a perfect balance between French artisanal tradition and industrial modernity, positioning the brand among the major players in the global automotive industry.
A Destiny Broken by History
The 1939 Renault Suprastella carries a particularly moving story, that of a model whose fate was sealed by historical events. Produced in only a few hundred copies, it represented the culmination of Renault's research into prestige vehicles, but its marketing was abruptly interrupted by the declaration of war.
Many of these vehicles were requisitioned during the Occupation, some serving the authorities, while others were hidden by their owners. This black miniature evokes those dark years when French automotive elegance had to give way to military imperatives. After the war, the few surviving examples became precious witnesses of a bygone era.
The Suprastella embodied the last glimmers of the French art of living before the turmoil, with its luxuriously appointed leather interiors and precious woods. It today symbolizes a certain idea of discreet luxury and technical refinement that characterized the French automotive industry during the interwar period, a time of intense innovation and creativity abruptly interrupted by History.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
