  • Dossier De Presse RENAULT : UNE SAGA TURBO DEPUIS 40 ANS 15 Juillet 2019
    Dossier de Presse RENAULT : UNE SAGA TURBO DEPUIS 40 ANS 15 juillet 2019 De la piste à la route, le turbo selon Renault Pour fêter les 40 ans de la victoire en Formule 1 du premier moteur turbo, Renault vous fait découvrir, ou redécouvrir, un panel d’exception de véhicules à moteurs turbo. Des voitures de sport mythiques aux modèles de série emblématiques, la saga du moteur turbo fait vibrer les performances des voitures sur piste comme sur route depuis 40 ans. Le constructeur célèbre ainsi le 40e anniversaire de sa première victoire en Formule 1, la première d’un moteur turbocompressé. C’est l’occasion de découvrir le rôle précurseur et majeur de Renault dans l’introduction et l’exploitation du turbo en Formule 1, ainsi que la transposition de sa technologie issue de la compétition à ses modèles de série. 1 Sommaire 01 Histoire de la suralimentation 3 02 Des voitures de course mythiques 5 03 Le turbo en série pour tous 10 2 01 Histoire de la suralimentation Pour Renault, le sport automobile en général – et la Formule 1 en particulier – représentent un laboratoire et une vitrine de son savoir-faire technologique. Au-delà de la passion du défi sportif et du goût des victoires, la compétition est une formidable opportunité de développer des technologies de pointe, dont bénéficient ensuite, directement ou indirectement, ses véhicules de série. Depuis 1977, l’engagement de Renault en Formule 1 en a fait un acteur majeur de la discipline, reconnu non seulement pour ses titres, mais aussi pour les innovations qui ont porté ses monoplaces et celles qu’il motorisait vers les succès.

    Press kit RENAULT : A TURBO SAGA FOR 40 YEARS July 15, 2019 From track to road, the turbo according to Renault To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Formula 1 victory of the first turbo engine, Renault invites you to discover, or rediscover, an exceptional range of turbocharged vehicles. From mythical sports cars to iconic production models, the turbo engine saga has been driving the performance of cars on and off the track for 40 years. The carmaker is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its first Formula 1 victory, the first by a turbocharged engine. The show is a chance to find out more about Renault’s central and pioneering role in the introduction and use of turbo engines in Formula 1 racing as well as the transfer of this technology from motorsport to production vehicles.

In addition to Renault’s passion for sporting challenges and its taste for victory, motorsport is a fantastic opportunity for developing leading-edge technologies that later benefit production vehicles, either directly or indirectly. Since 1977, Renault’s Formula 1 commitment has made it a major player in the discipline, recognized not just for its titles but also for the innovations featured on its single-seaters and those that it has powered to success.
