Presentation

The Renault Collection features more than 760 vehicles illustrating the inventiveness and expertise of a firm that began its life in 1898 in Boulogne-Billancourt.

Renault brings its history to life

Alongside this collection is a goldmine of documentation and factual history held in thousands of linear metres of archives, more than 3,200 miniatures and toys, 1,900 posters, miscellaneous items and some 270 1/5 scale mock-ups.

A unique classics collection

This living collection is preserved, maintained and used by the Renault Classic department, which shows it regularly during exhibitions, fairs and historic races, in the press and television documentaries and at sporting events throughout Europe (Le Mans Classic, Goodwood Festival of Speed, Motor Shows, etc.).

In this way, 4.7 million people have come into contact with vehicles in the Renault Collection during the 100 events held in 2018.

Ongoing exchanges with valued partners

Fully aware of the important role played by the Renault and Alpine fan clubs, Renault want to strengthen its ties with these groups.

Renault Classic currently has nearly 400 fan clubs. Every 2 years, Renault Classic organises Losange Passion International in partnership with a member club. Losange Passion International is a private event that gives a thousand Renault and Alpine enthusiasts the opportunity to exhibit their vehicles, talk about what they do and mingle with their peers. This day offers a number of attractions, including driving, a beauty contest, an exchange and more.
