Renault 5 Diamond - New show car in co-production with designer Pierre Gonalons

To mark the 50th anniversary of the Renault 5, Renault has teamed up with French designer Pierre Gonalons to reinvent the iconic model of the 1970s and 80s. The result of this cooperation is the Renault 5 Diamant, an electric show car that combines the worlds of interior design and the automobile. When designing the Renault 5 Diamant, the designer was inspired by the decorative arts, in particular the art of jewellery, which is reflected in numerous refined details. The show car retains the unmistakable lines of the original that first rolled off the assembly line in 1972. However, Gonalons deliberately removed important attachments from their surroundings, enlarged them and modified their design. The headlights, for example, are no longer integrated into the front section, but are positioned free-standing in front of them, as well as the taillights, which are modeled after gemstones. The wide wheels originally come from the sporty Renault 5 Alpine and are decorated with a sun above the hub. The bodywork paint consists of three layers: golden pigments on a pink background, covered with matte varnish that creates a variety of effects ranging from golden lines in the sun to blue tones in the dark
