In 1996, Renault unveiled a quirky, retro-inspired hatchback concept complete with a removable roof and a radical platform. Though it never reached mainstream recognition, the Fiftie remains a striking example of the brand’s dedication to inventive automotive design.

Renault is gearing up to auction its iconic automobiles on December 7 in Flins-sur-Seine, France. Enthusiasts can expect a showcase of historic vehicles, including the famed 1978 Renault Alpine A442.
