The Original Renault 6: Innovation for Everyday Life
Launched in 1969, the Renault 6 was born from a clear will: to offer a practical alternative to the Renault 4 while maintaining its versatility, providing more comfort. Designed under the direction of Michel Boué, it adopted a revolutionary architecture with its rear hatch and asymmetrical doors, a direct heritage from its predecessor the R4.
The vehicle was distinguished by its Cléon-Fonte 845 cm³ engine, its three-speed gearbox, and its torsion bar suspension. This compact sedan measured 3.71 meters in length and had a light weight of 760 kg. Its design prioritized urban practicality and ease of maintenance, values cherished by Renault at that time.
Marketed for 17 years, the Renault 6 enjoyed remarkable commercial success with nearly 1.9 million units produced. It quickly established itself as the ultimate everyday car, appealing to an urban clientele in search of accessible and reliable mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
How is my package protected during transport?
