1985 Renault Fuego GTX. For French cars lovers.
I must say that I was never very impressed by this one... For me, the French Coupés, the iconic ones are the Facel Vega, the Citroen SM, the Alpines, the Venturi and a few Peugeot, I mean the iconic ones. 4 Cylinders, 2 liters, 110 HP: Best, Nicolas ...
The Renault Fuego (Fire?) was introduced in the USA
I went to the press launch and was very impressed with the car, until late in the day one of my fellow drivers rolled his over. I cannot recall any other car event ever suffering such a painful demonstration of instability. And in the end the cars weren’t...
A Citroen Xantia had just driven past whilst on tea break
and it got us talking French cars.
I just love vintage Citroens, these cars were unlike anything else!
both design-wise and from technical viewpoint!
Ha! Back then the Fuego was one
of the cars I disliked the most, aesthetically. Now I say, at least it was distinctive. Cheers Marc
Hehe, yeah. While I’m sure there’re
people who can tell today’s mainstream cars apart, I am at a total loss there.
I hear you!
It looks like a losing game for us IC engine guys in the long run but let’s have fun as long as it lasts.
A strange one indeed 😊🤷🏻♂️
The design was quite progressive for the time but I suppose the performance was too staid to leave a mark. Which new Peugeot, btw?
Hey Nico, who did it better?
in the states we had some interesting cars from AMC, this is the Gremlin Similar look to your French ride ...
Absolutely terrible name for a car.
AMC did make some good looking cars: AMX and the Javelin. At the same time they made the : Pacer..which looked bloated
Btw.
AMC and Jeep later belonged to Renault. And it was Renault F1 engineers who made the Heep Cherokee, the first modern SUV during that time 😊👍🏻
