Renault
Renault has built cars since 1899 and won at every level of the sport — including Formula 1 titles as both constructor and engine supplier — but its collector catalogue is led by two strands of French genius: the mid-engined hot hatches, from the 5 Turbo's Group B-bred theatre to the Clio V6's outrageous packaging, and the Renaultsport era that made the Clio Williams and Mégane R26.R benchmarks of driver's-car purity. The Alpine A110 — historically a Renault family affair — adds rally-winning glamour to the story, and its modern revival keeps the lightweight French sports car alive. Clean Renaultsport products are appreciating fast as the hot-hatch generation reaches collecting age.
Renault 5 Turbo / Turbo 2
Mid-engined, rear-driven Group 4 homologation special — Renault's wildest hot hatch turned rally weapon.
Renault Clio Williams
The benchmark '90s hot hatch — F1-flavoured, rally-bred, and now a rising youngtimer.
Renault Clio V6
Renault's Clio-shaped homage to the 5 Turbo — a wide-body, rear-mid-engined, rear-drive hot hatch built in two very different phases.
