I believe that today we have the opportunity, through innovation, to reinvent this love of the car and the modernity of the automobile. This is what we do when we give birth to a myth. And the 4L is a myth. It is one of the most emblematic cars in the history of Renault. 4EVER Trophy is therefore a modern reinterpretation of the Renault 4.
