Renault R17 Electric Restomod x Ora Ïto

The Renault R17 Electric Restomod x Ora Ïto is an electric concept car developed by the French car manufacturer Renault and presented in 2024. It is a unique car based on a 1971 Renault 17 that the Marseille-based designer Ora Ïto redesigned completely, which explains its name. It was shown at the Chantilly Concours d Elegance 2024 on 15 September 2024 and then at the 2024 Paris Motor Show on 15 October. The restomod keeps the original self-supporting body of the Renault 17 and its general line but modernises it: the round headlights give way to rectangular projectors, the wings are widened by 17 centimetres, the wheel arches are redesigned and the coupe body is painted in a colour called Galactic Brown. The 1.6 litre four-cylinder thermal engine was replaced by a 270 horsepower electric motor positioned on the rear axle.
