RENAULT UNVEILS R17 CONCEPT THAT COMBINES 70S CLASSIC WITH ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY
Renault has unveiled the R17 concept, a modern reinterpretation of the classic 1970s model 17.
Featuring a 270-horsepower electric motor and carbon fiber body panels, the car blends retro design with contemporary technology.
However, despite its impressive look and promising performance, Renault has no plans to produce the model, which is disappointing for enthusiasts.
Developed in collaboration with French designer Ora Ïto, the R17 incorporates elements from the original Renault 17, sold between 1971 and 1979. The car features integrated LED headlights and taillights, and a design that highlights its simple and elegant lines. The widened fenders and subtle details add a sporty touch, while the interior features 1970s materials harmonized with a modern approach that cleverly hides digital screens.
Although the R17 concept will only be shown at events like the 2024 Paris Motor Show, there is hope that Renault will reconsider its decision not to produce the car, bringing joy to automotive enthusiasts.
