Launched in the early 1960s, the Renault 4L became far more than just a car: it became a true cultural icon.

"Project 112"—which would become the R4—was set to be Renault’s first front-wheel-drive passenger car. Looking beyond this revolutionary technical shift, Pierre Dreyfus, head of the state-owned Renault company, envisioned a promising future for the new model: "We must stop making cars with a separate trunk and four seats. I want a vehicle with usable interior space—a versatile car suited to a society undergoing rapid change!"

This book chronicles that remarkable industrial and human adventure.
