 A legend that was an inseparable part of the French automotive scene from the 1960s to the 1990s, Renault’s first front-wheel drive car, the Renault 4, introduced a rear tailgate, long-travel suspension and an excellent load capacity. In 2021, to celebrate the model’s 60th anniversary, the manufacturer had five cars converted to electric power.

It chose versions symbolising the model, which were completely restored by the staff at the Collection before being sent to EV Europe, a Dutch specialist which carried out the conversion, replacing the petrol engine by an electric motor and installing the batteries. The motor is directly connected to the gearbox, which is locked in third, with an electrical inverter providing reverse gear. A screen has been added on the left-hand side of the dashboard to display the information specific to the electric powertrain. The car produces about 30bhp and has a range of approximately 100km.

 

This particular car, in the colours of Zity, a car-sharing firm, is a 1991 model and one of the last Renault 4s built, as sales came to an end the following year. It can only be registered in the Netherlands. It respects the model’s original appearance and will therefore enable its new owner to enjoy the inimitable looks of the famous Renault, combined with the ease of use and maintenance of an electric car.
