2021 marks the 60th anniversary of Renault 4L, a car that has sold more than 8 million units in over 100 countries over a period of more than 30 years. Much more than a car, 4L is a true icon.
To celebrate its 60th anniversary, Renault has been holding a year of celebrations consisting of a number of initiatives. To wrap it up, the brand decided to join forces with the ground-defying design hub TheArsenale to create a show car that gives a futuristic and offbeat reinterpretation of 4L.
The original Renault 4 was a simple, efficient, and versatile vehicle built between 1961 and 1992. A “blue jeans” car, as the former head of Renault Group, Pierre Dreyfus, used to describe it. A true icon conveying families, businesses, and the likes of the gendarmerie and La Poste, as well as helping several generations of young motorists get behind the wheel. Its values and qualities convinced TheArsenale to collaborate with Renault to reimagine a 4L designed to drive along the unmarked highways above our heads.
