1959 Renault 900

Now here is something that you don't see every day.  Even if you did, you wouldn't know which way it was going.


The Renault 900 was a styling experiment that, I suppose, seemed like a good idea at the time.  I'm guessing that passenger safety wasn't a consideration.


The 900 was powered by a rear mounted (1.7L) V8 that was basically two Renault Dauphine engines put together.  So it was twice as fast as a Dauphine, which still made it slow.



There were a few variations on the same design, and I don't know which one I like better.


Gotta love the French!

  2. Hi Guys Good Post Renault truck parts.Renault has provided a preview glimpse of its new concept car, DeZir, ahead of this year’s Paris Motor Show. The new two-seater coupe features massive 21 inch wheels and a zero-emissions electric drivetrain. Entry to the vehicle is via a pair of gullwing doors, and once inside passengers are treated to a two-seater bench seat. The absence of a rear window is overcome by the fitment of two rear-facing cameras that provide the driver with a panoramic view of what is happening behind the car.Thanks for sharing this information.

    thanks
