Today, a third Philippe Charbonneaux design, the Renault 8, seen here in sporty Gordini form at #Retromobile Paris (2014). As I mentioned before, Renault continued to develop its rear-engined car line alongside its modern FWD hatchbacks like the R4, R6 and R16. The R8 replaced the curvy Dauphine in 1962, and was still being made well into the 1970s. Also produced in Romania as the #Dacia 1100, the start of a whole different story.
