The JP4 Car System: a rolling laboratory
The Renault Car System JP4 was born in 1980 in Renault's design offices as a veritable laboratory of ideas on wheels. This revolutionary concept car incorporated technological solutions that were unprecedented at the time, particularly in terms of ergonomics and human-machine interface.

Although this model never saw series production, its impact on the French automotive industry remains considerable, establishing the foundations for forward-looking thinking at Renault.
Renault in the 1980s: creative audacity
In the early 1980s, Renault experienced a period of intense creativity driven by its design and engineering teams. Drawing on its innovative heritage, the diamond-shaped brand explored new stylistic and technological avenues to anticipate future mobility needs. This forward-looking approach was in keeping with Renault's DNA, always ready to challenge established codes.
The French company then relied on fundamental research and concept cars to explore uncharted territories. This strategy allowed Renault to maintain its technological lead in the face of European and Japanese competition, which was particularly intense during this decade.
The JP4 Car System fits perfectly into this philosophy of permanent innovation that has characterized Renault since its origins, confirming the brand's ability to constantly reinvent the automobile.
A prophetic vision of the connected automobile
The most fascinating aspect of the Renault Car System JP4 lies in its ability to anticipate the era of the connected automobile, nearly forty years before its advent. Renault engineers are already imagining a vehicle capable of communicating with its environment and adapting its behavior according to the situations encountered.
This prophetic vision inspired many European manufacturers who discovered the innovations incorporated into this revolutionary concept at motor shows. The JP4 quickly became a benchmark in engineering schools and automotive research centers, influencing an entire generation of designers.
The legacy of the JP4 Car System can be found today in contemporary Renault vehicles , particularly in their approach to user interface and on-board connectivity.
This capacity for anticipation demonstrates the relevance of Renault's forward-looking approach, confirming that French automotive innovation knows how to combine creativity and pragmatism to imagine the mobility of tomorrow.

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).
