A few weeks ago, I was explaining how Renault, with the R4, R6 and R16 was one of the pioneers in the introduction of a then-new body type, the hatchback. But long before that, the company had been experimenting with new, more spacious and practical types of vehicle than the three-box sedan/saloon, such as this, the 1959 Projet 900, with its rear-mounted 1.7-litre V8 (yes, really), snapped here at Paris, 2014. Weird back-to-front styling.

@davidwilkins Weird seems an understatement :)

@mcSlibinas @davidwilkins The BX dash is not that weird (the Lotus Esprit S1 is bit weirder), the real thing is the CX Mk I dash, weird but quite ergonomic once you're used to.
