Renault Fuego

Automobiles

The Renault Fuego was a sports hatchback coupe built by Renault from 1980 to 1986, with licensed production continuing in Argentina and Venezuela after that. It replaced the Renault 15 and 17 coupes of the 1970s and shared its floorpan and drivetrain with the Renault 18, while its front suspension came from the larger Renault 20 and 30. Michel Jardin styled the exterior under Robert Opron, and the glass hatchback gave it a large cargo opening for a coupe. A total of 265,367 were built, about 85 percent of them at Maubeuge in France. In North America the car was imported and sold through American Motors Corporation dealers from 1982 until 1985, with strengthened bumpers and sealed-beam headlights to meet United States rules, and a turbocharged engine was offered there before it reached French buyers.
