r4  fourgonnette  1961-1988

The Renault 4, also known as the 4L (pronounced "Quatrelle" in French), is a small economy car produced by the French automaker Renault between 1961 and 1994. Although the Renault 4 was marketed as a short station wagon, its minimal rear overhang, and single top-hinged rear opening made it the world's first mass-produced hatchback car, as well as the first front-wheel drive family car produced by Renault.

Based on the standard r4 the panel van (Fourgonnette) version, which with its "high cube" bodyshell and the unique 'giraffon' (giraffe hatch) at the rear became the idiosyncratic French "Boulangerie" van. For many years, this was a successful vehicle of its type and for many customers, as it represents their idea of a Renault 4 more than a passenger version. It remained on sale in Europe until 1993 and was replaced by the Renault Express, which was based on the second generation Renault 5 'Supercinq'.

alpine a110  1963-1977

The Alpine A110 is a sports car produced by French automobile manufacturer Alpine from 1961 to 1977. The car was styled as a "Berlinette", which in the post-WWII era refers to a small enclosed two-door Berline, better-known as a coupé.  The Alpine A110 succeeded the earlier A108. The car was powered by a succession of Renault engines. Originally it was offered with 1.1 L R8 Major or R8 Gordini engines. The Gordini engine has a power output of 95 hp.

While its predecessor the A108 was designed around Dauphine components, the A110 was updated to use R8 parts. 

The A110 achieved most of its fame in the early 1970s as a successful rally car.

r16  1965-1980

The Renault 16 (R16) is a D-segment family hatchback produced between 1965 and 1980 in Le Havre, France. The Renault 16 was the first successful hatchback body-style car, selling approaching two million cars – all hatchbacks.

The big innovation was the modern, practical body style – introducing the hatchback to the mid-size family segment. This allowed the interior to be immensely flexible, and could be configured in seven different ways. This body style is halfway between a saloon and an estate, and, before the term hatchback was coined, journalists struggled to describe it. 

The R16 was a great success, with 1.845,959 R16s produced during a production run of 15 years. The car sold well in most of Europe, winning praise for its spacious and comfortable interior as well as the practicality offered by its effectively unique hatchback bodystyle. It was marketed in the United States, but was not successful and only a tiny number were sold.

alpine a310  1971-1976

The first model of the A310, built 1971-1976, was a car with a four-cylinder engine and six headlights. Being larger, heavier, and no more powerful than its predecessor, the A310 was generally considered underpowered.  The car was first shown at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show. 

In 1976 the A310 was restyled and fitted with the more powerful and newly developed 90-degree 2664 cc V6  engine, as used in some Renaults, Volvos and Peugeots. The later V6 received a black plastic rear spoiler as well, useful for keeping the tail planted but somewhat marring the purity of the original's lines. With 150 PS  on tap, the A310  V6 was Renault's performance flagship capable of 220 km/h  and acceptable acceleration.

The Renault 5 is a four-passenger, three or five-door, front-engine, front wheel drive hatchback supermini manufactured over two generations: 1972–1985 (also called R5) and 1984–1996 (also called Super 5 or Supercinq). The R5 was marketed in the US as Le Car, from 1976 to 1983.  Renault marketed a four-door sedan variant, the Renault 7, manufactured from 1974 to 1984 in Spain by Renault's subsidiary FASA-Renault  and exported in limited markets.

5 1972-1985

The Renault 5 was styled by Michel Boué, who designed the car in his spare time, outside of his normal duties. When Renault executives learned of Boué's work, they were so impressed by his concept that they immediately authorized a formal development program. The R5 featured a steeply sloping rear hatchback. Boué had wanted the tail-lights to go all the way up from the bumper into the C-pillar, in the fashion of the much later Fiat Punto and Volvo 850 estate/wagon, but the lights remained at a more conventional level.

The R5 borrowed mechanicals from the successful Renault 4, using a longitudinally-mounted engine driving the front wheels with torsion bar suspension. OHV engines were the same as the Renault 4 and larger Renault 8. At the car's launch, the 782 cc and 956 cc versions were available depending on the model level. A "5TS/5LS" with the 1.289 cc engine from the Renault 12 was added from April 1974. As on the Renault 4, entry-level Renault 5s had their engine sizes increased to 845 cc in 1976, and at the top of the range later models included the 1.397 cc version.

The Renault 5 became the best-selling car in France from 1972 to 1986,  with a total production exceeding 5.5 m over a 14-year period, making it France's most popular car.

super 5  1984-1996

The second generation R5, marketed as the Renault 5 (or "Superfive") was launched in 1984. The bodyshell and platform were completely new (the platform was based on that of the larger Renault 9 and 11), and R5 aesthetic remained; styling was by Marcello Gandini.

The bodyshell and platform were completely new (the platform was based on that of the larger Renault 9 and 11), and R5 aesthetic remained. The new body was wider and longer with 20 percent more glass area, more interior space, and a lower drag coefficient. The biggest changes were the adoption of a transversely-mounted powertrain from the 9 and 11 and MacPherson strut front suspension. The five-door version arrived in May 1985.

It was planned to market the vehicle as a downsized successor, substituting the AMC Pacer in the USA, which affected the design of the R5. Within the alliance of Renault and the American Motors Corporation, only its predecessor was marketed in the USA.

In 1990, the R5 was effectively replaced by the Clio, which was a sales success across Europe. Production of the R5 was transferred to the Revoz factory in Yugoslavia (since 1992, Slovenia) when the Clio was launched. It remained on sale with only 1.1 L, 1.4 L petrol, and 1.6 L naturally aspirated diesel engines.

5 e-tech 2024-present

The Renault 5 E-Tech is a B-segment battery electric car by French manufacturer Renault that will begin production in 2024. Inspired by the original Renault 5 in styling, the 5 E-Tech was previewed by a concept car shown in January 2021, with the production model being officially unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show in February 2024.

According to Renault Executive Vice President for Engineering Gilles le Borgne, the Renault 5 EV is expected to be priced starting from €20–25,000; options will include one of two battery packs (40 kWh or 52 kWh), with an expected range of 400 km using the latter.

An Alpine-branded high-performance variant is planned, and will use the more powerful traction motor from the Mégane E-Tech, which is rated at 210 hp. The Alpine variant is expected to retain the front-motor, front-wheel drive layout of the Renault 5 E-Tech, but the track will be wider for a sportier look.

alpine a442  1976-1978

The Renault Alpine A442 is a sports prototype racing car, designed and built by Alpine, but funded and powered by Alpine's owners Renault, specifically to contest the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. An A442B finally won the race on the third occasion.

The A442's 2.0L Renault-Gordini powerplant boasted a large Garrett turbocharger, pushing power output to 490 bhp. Over the next three years this would increase to well over 500 bhp, with the A443's 2.2L unit developing 520 bhp.

re20  1980

The Renault RE20 was a Formula One car raced by the Renault team in the 1980 season. The car was designed by Francois Castaing and Michel Tétu and designed using Ground effect aerodynamics. The car was powered by the 1.5L turbocharged Renault Gordini EF1 engine, which by 1981 was producing a reported 520 bhp. This was roughly 50 more than the 3.0L Cosworth DFV V8 still in wide use at the time in Formula One, though Renault's power did lag behind the new 560 bhp turbocharged engine being used by Ferrari.

The Renault RE20 achieved three Grand Prix wins during the 1980 season. Arnoux won both the Brazilian and South African races while Jabouille was the winner of the Austrian Grand Prix.

A modified version of the car, the RE20B, raced in first five races of the 1981 season. The RE20B was replaced by the Renault RE30.

fuego  1980-1986

The Renault Fuego (fire in Spanish) is a sport compact car that was produced  from 1980 to 1986, replacing the Renault 15 and 17 coupés of the 1970s. It was marketed in the United States by American Motors Corporation (AMC), and was also assembled in several countries in South America, where production continued until 1992. The official Renault website states that a total of 265,367 Fuegos were produced, with production in France from February 1980 to October 1985 making up 226,583 (85%) of the total.  Spanish production for European markets continued into 1986.
