The Renault 18, also known as the R18, was a compact car produced by the French automaker Renault from 1978 to 1986. It was launched as a replacement for the Renault 12, and was initially available in three- and five-door hatchback body styles. Later, a four-door saloon version, known as the Renault 18 "Berline" in France, was added to the lineup. Designed by Gaston Juchet, the R18 was a significant departure from its predecessor, boasting a more angular and modern aesthetic. The car featured a front-wheel drive layout, independent suspension on all four wheels, and a range of four-cylinder petrol engines. The R18, though not as popular in some markets as the R12, was a successful model for Renault, selling over 1.9 million units before its discontinuation. The Renault Fuego, a sporty coupe derivative of the R18, was introduced in 1980. It was essentially a two-door version of the R18, featuring a sleek and streamlined body with a sloping fastback roofline. The Fuego was available with a range of petrol engines, including a turbocharged 1.6-liter unit. It was lauded for its sporty handling and acceleration, especially after the introduction of the turbocharged model. However, the Fuego suffered from a number of reliability issues, including problems with its engine and transmission. Despite its flaws, the Fuego became a popular choice for drivers who sought a sporty and stylish coupe at a relatively affordable price. The second generation of the Fuego, launched in 1984, brought about a redesigned interior and some improvements to the previously criticised reliability, but ultimately sales remained weak. Production of the entire R18 line, including the Fuego, ceased in 1993.
