The Nervastella is a large automobile constructed by Renault between 1930 and 1937. It was used as a state car and pictures of the president of the French Republic sitting in a Nervastella can therefore be seen in newsreels from the mid-1930s.
The car was a smaller brother to the Renault Reinastella which had been launched a year earlier, but the Nervastella was technically more advanced, and with a 3,350 mm (131.9 in)[1] wheelbase it was still, by the standards of the time and place, large.
In the early 1930s Renault introduced a number of models with names that ended in "-stella", which was a conscious reference to the Latin word for a "star".[2] "Nerva" is a reference to a Roman emperor, and Nerva, Spain.
