Renault and Artcurial auction 100 iconic vehicles and single-seaters at the Flins-sur-Seine site.
On December 7, 2025, Artcurial Motorcars and Renault will write a new chapter in automotive history with The Renault Icons, an exceptional auction to be held at the iconic site of the French manufacturer’s factories in Flins-sur-Seine, just 40 kilometers from Paris.
This event will highlight 100 representative vehicles ranging from prototypes and road cars to models that have marked the history of motorsport. Among them, 20 Formula 1 single-seaters will trace Renault’s great moments in competition. At the same time, 100 lots of Automobilia (engines, models, studies, and wind tunnel parts) will allow a deep dive into the technical and historical heritage of the brand.
Renault celebrates its history
2025 is a symbolic year for Renault, celebrating several major anniversaries: the 70th anniversary of the Alpine, the 40th anniversary of the Maxi Turbo victory, and the 20th anniversary of the Constructors’ World Championship title in Formula 1. The Renault Icons thus fits within a commemorative context, tracing 125 years of innovation, design, and sporting success.
The auction offers a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to acquire a piece of automotive history, previously carefully preserved in reserves. Among the iconic models are the Renault Alpine A 442 (1978), the Formula 1 RE 40 (1983) driven by Alain Prost, the RE 30-B9 (1982), and the Lotus 95 T (1984) entrusted to Nigel Mansell.
This sale also illustrates the manufacturer’s “Renaulution” strategy, which adjusts its collection by selling off some duplicates and prepares for the opening of the future Renault museum in 2027.
