The Original Model: A Technical Revolution
The Renault Type PG2 Vivasix represented in 1928 the culmination of Louis Renault's research in six-cylinder engines. Launched to compete with the prestigious American automobiles flooding the European market, this sedan embodied French craftsmanship in the premium segment.
Equipped with a 1.5-liter inline six-cylinder engine, the Vivasix developed remarkable power for the time, enabling speeds of 85 km/h. Its robust chassis and elegant body made it a prestigious automobile, favored by the French bourgeoisie and demanding professionals.
This Renault marked a crucial step in the technical evolution of the brand, foreshadowing the future innovations that would make the Boulogne-Billancourt manufacturer globally renowned.
Renault in 1928: Innovation at the Service of the Automobile
In 1928, Renault dominated the French automobile market thanks to a constant innovation strategy initiated by Louis Renault early in the century. The company, building on its experiences gained during the Great War with the production of the famous FT tank, applied its industrial expertise to civilian automobiles.
This prosperous period for the brand corresponds to the golden age of the French automotive industry. Renault invested heavily in research and development, particularly in multicylinder engine technologies, positioning its vehicles as technical and aesthetic benchmarks in the emerging European market.
An Ambassador of French Luxury
The Renault Type PG2 Vivasix had a unique fate in French social history. Adopted by many doctors, lawyers, and industrialists of the time, it quickly became a symbol of bourgeois success in the Roaring Twenties. Its prized green color was associated with respectability and refinement.
A delightful anecdote recounts that in 1929, during the Paris Motor Show, the Vivasix was chosen as the official vehicle to transport political figures attending the event. Its reliability and comfort impressed foreign dignitaries so much that several government orders were placed to equip European diplomatic fleets.
This international recognition greatly contributed to the glory of the French automotive industry abroad, paving the way for future massive exports of French cars to colonies and partner countries.

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).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
