Renault 120 Years
13 Jul 2018 - 02 Sep 2018
Throughout the entire summer Autoworld is celebrating the 120th birthday of one of the biggest still active French makes. Based on fifty cars we retrace the history of Renault, that has much in common with the French history of the twentieth century, the Second industrial Revolution and production in series.
On Autoworld’s mezzanine the most iconic models will be exhibited, with among others the first-ever type A from1899, the first closed car in history, and the Type B dating from 1900. Original, unrestored cars emanating from the Museum of Compiègne, but also a ‘Marne-taxi’ from 1914, etc. It goes without saying that there will be numerous models that contributed towards Renault’s fame, such as the Juvaquatre, the 4CV, the Dauphine, R4, R16, the first Espace, various versions of the R5, and so forth.
Various models showcase Renault’s rich competition history, among which some provided by Renault Classic.
On a separate podium on the ground floor a number of Clio’s sporting versions are exhibited together with a few present-day RS models and the history of the Renault Gordini features several sporty saloons versions: Dauphine, R8, R12 etc.
