Renault wants you to have the electric drive and is therefore fully committed to nostalgia. Both the Renault 4 and the Renault 5 are coming back. We have already seen a fantastic study model of the latter, the new 4 will be unveiled on November 26.
We are very excited about the Renault 5 Prototype – which was already presented in January. It does retro in a good way and combines a modern look in a nice way with elements of the original Renault 5 and the fat 5 Turbo. Hopefully the production model doesn’t deviate too much from it.
Modern car with classic Renault 4 traits
on Twitter Renault has now published a hint to the new 4. A short film, in which we see the car from the front and can clearly see the classic Renault 4 traits: the bowler hat-like roof, the rounded nose, the round headlights and even the lines on the hood. The car will be called Renault Air4.
Renault 4 with a different wheelbase on the left and right
More than 8 million copies of the original Renault 4 were built between 1961 and 1992. The special thing about the car is that it has a different wheelbase on the left and right. This is because the two rear torsion axles – one for the left wheel, one for the right wheel – are positioned behind each other.
