Renault R 4
(1961 - 1991)
Car articles about Renault R 4 by year
Soon after the Renault R4 was launched, the magazine 'hobby' received an R4L for a test drive. The journalist was pleasantly surprised by the quality of what was on offer, and was particularly taken aback by its freedom from wading and low fuel consumption. This report reproduces the original wording of the test report at the time and is supplemented by many historical illustrations of the early R4 vehicles and an original brochure from the time.
The R 4 combines practicality, economy and maximum comfort in its no-nonsense yet ugly body without compromise, which, combined with a robust and powerful engine, very soft suspension and a reduced but complete equipment package, earned it a reputation as a versatile utility car. This test report from July 1966 explains why the R 4 became the "most sensible car in Europe"
Seven years after the Renault 4 was launched, an improved version appeared in 1967 with four instead of three gears and a modified exterior. A good reason for a test in 1968, when 1.5 million of the popular small car for large transportation tasks had already been built. There were good reasons for this, which even the test drivers could not contradict. This article reproduces the original wording of the test at the time and shows the R4 in many historical pictures.
For most people, the VW Beetle is the Volkswagen par excellence, in every sense of the word. A car for the people, a people's car. And the Beetle was indeed an above-average success. But before it, Ford's Model T had already passed the 15 million mark, and in modern times the Toyota Corolla, VW Golf and Ford's F-series even managed to reach over 30 million, although they were not the only people's cars to do so. This report looks back at some selected production successes in car history and shows them in 200 pictures. A feast for the eyes!
