The Original Renault Mégane Coupe Cabriolet
Launched in 2003, the Mégane Coupe Cabriolet represented Renault's ambition to conquer the premium compact convertible segment. Developed on the basis of the Mégane II, this convertible was distinguished by its elegant design by Patrick Le Quément and its electrically retractable hardtop, a remarkable technical feat for its time.
The Floride version, with its characteristic beige hue, directly evoked the legacy of the legendary Floride from the 1950s-1960s. This special variant offered high-end equipment and careful finishes, positioning the Mégane Cabriolet against the German references in the segment.
Commercialized until 2009, it was well received by a clientele seeking French originality in the convertible universe. Its fluid line and balanced proportions made it an aesthetic reference in the Renault range.
Renault in the Early 2000s
At the time of the Mégane Coupe Cabriolet launch, Renault was undergoing a period of creative renewal under the leadership of Carlos Ghosn and the design team led by Patrick Le Quément. The diamond brand was multiplying stylistic audacities with models like the Avantime or the Vel Satis, asserting a strong French identity against European competition.
This era also marked the peak of the Renault-Nissan alliance, allowing the French brand to develop ambitious projects while controlling costs. The Mégane Cabriolet perfectly aligned with this strategy of upscaling and diversifying the offer.
Drawing on its heritage in convertibles with iconic models like the original Floride, Renault aimed to demonstrate its ability to blend French tradition with technical modernity in this demanding segment.
A Prestigious Lineage with the Original Floride
The choice of the name "Floride" for this special version was not arbitrary. It directly paid tribute to the mythical Renault Floride of the 1950s-1960s, a convertible that marked its era with its French elegance. This reference was part of a consciously nostalgic approach, with Renault seeking to evoke emotion connected to its great classics.
The original Floride, launched in 1958, was born from the collaboration between Renault and Italian coachbuilder Pietro Frua. It embodied the art of living of the Glorious Thirties and attracted an affluent clientele in search of distinction. Its timeless design and Gordini Dauphine engine made it an object of desire as well as a car.
By reviving this name for the Mégane Cabriolet, Renault created a bridge between generations and reaffirmed its historical expertise in the art of convertibles. The Floride beige hue, specially developed for this series, evoked the pastel colors that were so popular in the 1960s.
This conscious lineage testified to the richness of Renault's heritage and its ability to draw from its history to nourish its contemporary creativity. A legacy that can be found today in the collections of classic miniatures from 1950-1979.

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?
