The Renault 18, commonly known as the R18, was a compact car produced by French automaker Renault from 1978 to 1986. It was a successor to the Renault 12 and arrived in a period of significant economic growth in Europe, where people were looking for reliable, practical, and affordable vehicles. The R18 was offered in a variety of body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a four-door sedan. It was a popular choice for families and individuals alike, with its spacious interior and frugal engines. The R18 was known for its durable construction, comfortable ride, and reliable performance. It was powered by a range of four-cylinder petrol engines, ranging in size from 1.2 to 1.7 liters. The R18 was also available with a diesel engine, though this was less common. The Renault Fuego, a sporty coupe derived from the R18, was launched in 1980. Its sleek, aerodynamic design and distinctive fastback shape were inspired by the Ford Mustang and other popular American muscle cars. The Fuego was available with a variety of engines, including the potent 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The Fuego was also notable for its advanced features, including a digital instrument cluster and a sunroof. The Fuego's popularity waned in the mid-1980s due to intense competition from other sporty coupes, and production ceased in 1986. The Fuego's legacy, however, lives on as a stylish and innovative vehicle that combined practicality with performance.
