Here are six icon cars from Renault's three decades of F1 history. It all began with the world's first turbo-charged F1 car RS01, which kick-started one of the golden eras of Grand Prix racing. A laughing stock when it made its debut at Silverstone in 1977, a year later it scored Renault's first world championship points.

The pinnacle of Renault's first period in F1 was probably the RE40 which Alain Prost almost won the title with in 1983, whilst its last and most powerful role of the dice came with RE60 in 1985. The company then switched to engine supply and the 1986 Lotus 98T of Ayrton Senna and Johnny Dumfries was arguably its most successful liason. It was the 1990s that saw Renault's most successful time in F1 starting with the all conquering Williams Renault FW14B of Nigel Mansell in 1992 and brought the satisfaction of finally giving Prost a title with Renault a year later in the Williams FW15C.

From 1992 to 1997 Renault won 6 consecutive Constructors' titles. During this period 5 different drivers won the Drivers' championship driving a Renault engine, including the current world champion M.Schumacher.
