it home reported on september 6 that as car exterior designs have become more homogenized, some car companies have begun to look for inspiration from traditional luxury cars and even classic models, such as the beetle. now, renault has also joined this retro trend.

in addition to tuned cars like the renault 5 diamant and r5 turbo 3e, the company has also introduced retro models like the new renault 5 e-tech, and will later launch production models of the 4ever trophy concept and the twingo legend.

today, renault once again brought another classic model to everyone's attention, this is the renault r17 electric car launched in cooperation with french designer ora ïto.

the prototype is based on the renault 17 coupe launched in 1971, but renault has introduced a modern electrified powertrain to it. although specific details have not been released, renault said it uses a 270 horsepower rear electric motor.

in terms of appearance, the renault r17 is sharper than the original model, for example, a pair of slim rectangular light bars replace the original car's round headlights, but it also gives it a more serious appearance.

in addition, the grille of renault r17 has also been redesigned, and the shutters behind the side windows can be more naturally integrated into the overall design of the body; the taillights are composed of a simple led light strip, and it also has wheels similar to vinyl records.

in other aspects, the renault r17 body is stretched 6.7 inches (it home note: about 17 cm) compared to the original version, and adopts a new carbon fiber chassis, retaining the original doors, windows and chassis structure.

renault says the electric r17 weighs about 3,086 pounds and is finished in galaxy brown, a unique paint the company developed for the car.

in terms of interior, the cockpit of the renault r17 is different from the original model, while retaining the "retro charm", such as the square steering wheel replacing the original round steering wheel, which has only one rectangular spoke, and the four displays at the back replacing the 17 instruments of the original model, while the central control screen is installed under the dashboard. in addition, its seats have also been redesigned and are decorated with brown merino wool and beige wool bukel fabrics.
