Introducing the world
’
s largest producer of front-wheel drive cars. Introducing the new front wheel drive Renault 12.
Our first front-wheel drive car, the Renault 4.
That was over 10 years ago. Today we make over 4500 front-wheel drive cars a day. Nobody else even comes close.
1898. Even we didn’t start with front-wheel drive.
This is the rear-wheel drive Voiturette that started it all. Long before the Model T was a gleam in Henry’s eye. Since then we have grown into one of the largest automobile companies in the world. We sold over a million cars last year alone. Not counting trucks and tractors.
The
singular benefits of front-wheel drive.
If you look at the x-ray drawing you’ll see the drive wheels are in front for better
handling with the engine over them for better traction.
With FWD the wheels that make the car go are the same wheels you steer with. With rear-wheel drive, the back wheels only want to push in one direction. Straight ahead. And they would if the front wheels didn’t force them to pivot. With FWD there’s no disagreement between power and steering. The front wheels call all the shots and the rest of the car follows along obediently.
Putting the engine weight over the front wheels also increases directional stability. More steering control, less problem with cross winds.
It boils down to this - we produce more FWD than anyone else in the world. So it shouldn’t be surprising that we know how to bring you the best that FWD has to offer.
The Renault 16 - America’s first look at our FWD
We introduced it here a few years ago. After it took “Car of the Year” in Europe. It sells for 95,* gets up to 30 mpg, converts from a sedan into a station wagon, and has converted a lot of people over to the terrific handling of front-wheel drive.
The left-hand page tells you all you need to know about front-wheel drive. Now we’ll fill you in on the rest of the Renault 12.
Specifications
Seating: Because of FWD, no driveshaft hump to steal leg room. Because it’s 7" longer than Pinto, even more leg room.
Engine: Aluminum. 1565cc, 5 main bearings. Up to 30 mpg. Essentially the same superb engine that powered Renaults to 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the 1971 Monte Carlo Rally.
Steering: Rack and pinion.
Brakes: Discs up front. Drums in rear with pressure equalizer to prevent locking.
Transmission: All synchro-
mesh, 4 speed.
Trunk: 12.8 cubic feet. (Vega has 8.7, Pinto 5.6) If you need even more trunk, the Renault 12 Station Wagon has up to 58 cubic feet.
Price: 95* for the sedan. 95* for the station wagon.
Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, we believe this car holds the road better, people better, and has more advanced notions of engineering than you could possibly appreciate without coming in for a test drive.
* Suggested retail price P.O.E. The Renault 12 Sedan is shown with optional custom wheels, and front bumper overrider bar etc. Taxes, freight, dealer delivery charges, or other options on all models shown are additional.

Last year, over 3 million people bought front-wheel drive cars. What do they know that you don’t?
What they know is something about better traction, better road-holding, and better space utilization.
And more and more people are getting the message every year. From such respected names as Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Citroen, Saab, Chrysler-owned Simca, Audi, (and VW), Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, MG, Peugeot, and us, Renault.
With front-wheel drive the steering wheels are also the drive wheels. The effects exerted by steering and acceleration are thus precisely interlocked for more positive control.
You are not pushed, but pulled through curves. It is as logical as putting the horse
before the cart. Where it belongs.
To continue the logic, the engine is also up front to gain added traction for the front wheels. Crosswinds and treacherous surfaces become less Of a problem, and there’s no drive shaft hump to steal leg room.
Of course, we are not telling you about the advantages of FWD for purely unselfish reasons. There is something else you should know about FWD:
Namely, that Renault is the world’s largest producer of FWD cars - over 1 million a year. Almost twice as much as the nearest competitor. And when you do that much of anything, you tend to get pretty good at it.
The new Renault 12 Just how good we’ve gotten at it is written all over the new Renault 12. The superb handling of FWD makes it a joy to drive.
But the pleasant surprises go on and on. Up to 30 mpg. Up to 93 mph. Rack-and-pinion steering. Front disc brakes. Plenty of leg room. Essentially the same engine that took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at the 1971 Monte Carlo Rally.
Even the trunk is above average: 12.8 cu. ft. (Almost as much as Vega and Pinto combined). Then there’s the Renault 12 Wagon with even more trunk - up to 58 cu. ft.
The Renault 16
And if you can’t make up your mind between a sedan and a wagon, but know you’d like the
widest, quietest, most comfortable FWD we make, check out the Renault 16, with 4-wheel independent suspension. It is a luxurious sedan that turns into a station wagon.
About 3 million people bought FWD cars last year. And over a million of them bought Renaults. Which just goes to show that even among pretty smart people, some people are a little smarter.
