Description

The Renault 4: A Car for the People Launched in 1961 as Renault's answer to the Citroen 2CV, the Renault 4 became one of the most successful French cars ever made. This book tells the story of its history, from early design developments under Pierre Dreyfus to its ambitious goal of building a car for the people when car ownership was on the rise. The Renault 4's practical design and technical innovations, such as a sealed cooling system, set it apart from other cars of its time. Its success led to several design changes and engineering improvements, as well as special editions. The book also explores the motorsport successes of the Renault 4, including its participation in the Paris to Dakar rally and a remarkable journey by four women through the Americas. As Renault prepares to unveil its replacement for the Renault 4, this book is a timely tribute to one of the most iconic French cars. With its unique blend of history, design, and technical innovation, it's a must-have for anyone interested in the world of motoring.
