Brief History of the Fuego

The Renault Fuego was heavily based on the Renault 18, haring its floorplan and drive-train, ut featuring a new front suspension design developed from the larger Renault 20/30. The design kept the familiar double wishbone layout common with the Renault 18 but no parts were interchangeable and the design incorporated negative scrub radius geometry. The new suspension design would later be introduced in the face-lifted Renault 18, nd with minor refinements (larger bushings, etc.), t was used in the Renault 25. In 1984, he Fuego dashboard was added to the face-lifted R18. European production continued into 1986 (to 1985 in France and 1986 in Spain), hile Renault Argentina produced the Fuego from 1982 until finally ending production in 1995 with the 2.2 litre "GTA Max" (the final phase III facelift introduced in 1990). It was the first mass-produced four-seat sports model to be designed in a wind tunnel. The resulting drag coefficient factor of 0.32-0.35 depending on model and year. In October 1982, the Turbo Diesel model was classified as the then-fastest diesel car in the world with a top speed of 180km/h.The Fuego was the first car to have a remote key-less system with central locking that was available from the 1983 model year (from October 1982).The system was invented by Frenchman Paul Lipschutz (hence the name PLIP remote which is still used in Europe), nd later introduced on other Renault models. The Fuego was also the first car to have steering wheel mounted satellite controls for the audio system. This feature became popularized on the new 1984 model Renault 25.

There were very few of these cars exported the US; very few remain in good condition!
