The robust electric car was unveiled as a concept car in Paris this week under the name of the Renault 4ever Trophy.
The car has clear design features of the old, iconic Renault 4. More than eight million units were built from the early 1960s until 1992. But there’s not much else other than the profile that resembles the little one. number 4.
The Renault 4ever is significantly larger – 4.1 meters in length – which means it could become a competitor to Hyundai Kona Electric and Peugeot e-2008.
