The '''Simca Ariane''' was a large [[saloon car]] manufactured from 1957 to 1963 by the French [[automaker]] [[Simca]] in the factory in [[Poissy]]. The Ariane was created by fitting the body of the former first-generation [[Simca Vedette]] with a 1.3 L ''Flash'' [[straight-4|four cylinder]] engine from the much smaller [[Simca Aronde]] - a combination focused on economy rather than speedy acceleration. Presented in April 1957, the Ariane filled the gap between Aronde and Vedette. In October of the same year, the '''Ariane 8''' was presented - a version powered by the same ''[[Ford Flathead engine|Aquillon]]'' 2.4 L [[V8|eight-cylinder]] unit that powered the Vedette. The Ariane 8 effectively replaced the former Simca Trianon, which was a bottom-of-the-range Vedette, as the latter was moved upmarket.

The Simca Ariane was a large saloon car manufactured from 1957 to 1963 by the French automaker Simca in the factory in Poissy. The Ariane was created by fitting the body of the former first-generation Simca Vedette with a 1.3 L Flash four cylinder engine from the much smaller Simca Aronde - a combination focused on economy rather than speedy acceleration. Presented in April 1957, the Ariane filled the gap between Aronde and Vedette. In October of the same year, the Ariane 8 was presented - a version powered by the same Aquillon 2.4 L eight-cylinder unit that powered the Vedette. The Ariane 8 effectively replaced the former Simca Trianon, which was a bottom-of-the-range Vedette, as the latter was moved upmarket. The Ariane was manufactured until 1963, with 166,363 produced.[1][2]
