Renault will be at the 2023 Rétromobile car show in Paris with a stand paying homage to the brand’s iconic vehicles. From 1 to 5 February 2023, the brand invites visitors to dive into a timeless universe – all while resolutely looking towards the future.The first area, The Originals Renault Garage, will show three fully electric retrofitted models: the Renault 4, the Renault 5 and a reinvented Twingo making its first-ever public appearance. Renault’s design team took the Twingo slogan of “à vous d’inventer la vie qui va avec” (create the life that goes with it) to new heights to mark the car’s 30th birthday. Their new design is a surprising tribute to the California lowriders of the 1990s.This part of the stand will also feature the R5 Turbo 3E and Suite N°4 show cars, as well as an astonishing new breed of show car: “Mute the Hot Rod”. Based on a 1924 Renault MT, “Mute the Hot Rod” has an electric power train and a design that draws inspiration from the speed records set at the time and 1940s hot rods. Presented here in an initial preview version, the finalised show car will be revealed later in the year.
The Renault 4 is much more than a car: it is a true icon. With over 8 million units sold in more than 100 countries, it has been crossing generational and social gaps for the past 60 years. It is as comfortable in cities as far out in the countryside, and multipurpose – you can drive it to work and on long journeys, use it to carry loads, and a lot more.It is unpretentious yet in, chic yet a car for everyone, and appeals to men and women alike.Production was discontinued 30 years ago but the 4L has never left the limelight. It is one of the original young-timer vintage cars and the past 25 years have seen the 4L Trophy prove time and again its worth as a versatile car built to last. This explains why it is still a crowd pleaser, especially with the younger generations.
With more than 8 million units sold in over 100 countries, the Renault 4 is an icon in the automotive landscape. Celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, it remains a source of pleasure for its last users and collectors, such as Jean Le Cam. The famous sailor adores the 4L. When he gave one to his daughter on her 18th birthday, he could never have imagined that, twelve years later, he would own no fewer than eight of them. He tells us the story of this passion.
