DESCRIPTION:
How Renault scrimps on gas without scrimping on car.
The Renault 10 can scrimp at the rate of 35 miles a gallon.
One of the chief reasons for this remarkable mileage is the Renault 10's engine. Quite simply, if you don't waste power, you don't waste gas. Which isn't all that simple.
In practice, it meant developing a new casting technique to get a more compact engine block. By keeping the block size down, we keep the car size down, which keeps the gas consumption down.
It meant anchoring the crankshaft with 5 main bearings (as much as most V-8's) to cut vibrations down to an irreducible
minimum. No vibration, no power waste, no gas waste.
To explain the next bit of gassaving we've set up a little demonstration. (above)
Without those pleats, the same paper would never even support another piece of paper. That, in principle, is the kind of extra wrinkle we design into the steel structure of the Renault 10. It allows us to increase strength
and rigidity without increasing sheer dead weight. And by not increasing dead weight, again, we don't increase gas consumption.
Now, with your permission, a little documentation on how little scrimping there is on car. Included in the ,745* price: Seats that have been compared with the seats in a Rolls-Royce. And which convert into twin beds. 11 cubic feet of trunk. Top speed, 85. Self-adjusting 4-wheel disc brakes. 4-wheel independent suspension. 4 doors. 4-speed synchromesh transmission.
If there's any scrimping on the Renault 10 at all, it's on the gas tank. It only holds ten gallons. (About 350 miles worth.)
The Renault 10 * P.O.E. East Coast. Automatic Transmission optional.
Find another car under ,000 that has
all that the Renault 10 has,
and we’ll buy it for you.
We believe the Renault 10 gives you more for your money than any other car.
And the fact that sales have soared since we introduced it, leads us to believe that quite a few people agree. We sold 72% more 1967 Renaults than 1966 Renaults.
But if some doubters remain, we offer this challenge:
Find another car under ,000 that has all that the Renault 10 has, and we'll buy it for you.
The Renault 10 has, as standard equipment:
4-wheel disc brakes Disc brakes take hard braking better than drum brakes. They have long been used on superspeed, super-priced automobiles.
4 doors instead of 2
You don’t have to fight the front seat to get to the back seat.
35 miles per gallon
Some people say they get more.
Contoured seats that recline for sleeping.
Plus 18 other positions for when you’re not sleeping.
Engine weight over the drive wheels
The drive wheels bear down on snow and ice because the engine weight bears down on them.
Turning circle of 30 feet You can make most u-turns in one clean sweep.
4-wheel independent suspension
Each wheel moves up or down without affecting all the other
wheels. So when one wheel hits a bump, only one gets bumped. The other 3 keep the car and you going in a level position.
4-speed synchromesh transmission
This matches the speeds of the engine and transmission to allow the gears to mesh easily. Which makes shifting a lot easier on you and your transmission.
Replaceable wet cylinder sleeves
When the cylinders wear out in a conventional engine, the whole engine has to be pulled out and rebored. Sometimes it pays to buy a new car. But a Renault piston moves in a replaceable wet sleeve. If the sleeve ever wears out, you can put in a new one easily and inexpensively.
Sealed liquid cooling system with expansion tank
Water-cooled engines are much quieter than air-cooled engines. However, water and anti-freeze can frequently overflow. But Renault’s water-cooling system has an expansion tank to keep the overflow from escaping.
5 main-bearing engine Instead of three bearings sup
porting the crankshaft, we have five. (As many as most V-8's.)
Special vents for draft-free ventilation
You can get plenty of fresh air with the windows shut. Which, incidentally, shuts out noise.
Rack and pinion steering
Eliminates play in the steering.
2-speed hot-water heater and dual defroster
Our heater uses the same hot water that circulates in the engine. So our heater heats faster and produces a more even temperature than any air-type heater.
15 inch wheel
Most economy cars have 13" or less. Our larger wheel makes fewer revolutions to go the same distance. Which saves rubber. Which saves money.
Spare tire not in trunk
If you get a flat you don’t have
to unload the trunk and get everything dirty.
11 cubic foot trunk capacity
We’re not the biggest in this department, but neither are we the smallest The smallest only has 2.3 cubic feet, which is about as much space as we have behind our baclc seat alone.
Hits a top speed of 85
That’s pretty surprising considering the mileage we get.
Unique warranty 12 months/unlimited mileage.
