RENAULT 4 ever, the legend returns. by patrick riva from switzerland

after fifty years an icon of motoring history finally returns. simple, versatile and spontaneous as ever, the tireless friend of the young, families and dealers is ready to make it's way to your hearts showing off it's irresistible retro' charm mixed with advanced components and entirely recyclable materials, just how the car of today should be.

besides reinterpreting the timeless design of this iconic car, my idea of circular economy friendly cars is as follows:
light weight means lower fuel consumption and so less pollution. so lightweight steel frame galvanized in a galvanic bath to ensure stability and rust protection (like the first 'espace), body panels and interior in biodegradable plastic and recyclable polymers, mechanical parts in steel and aluminum.
and if 80 years ago, people recycled used car upholstery to make clothes and mattresses, today we take used clothes and mattresses to make the upholstery of the car, adding foam soy, wheat straw, natural fibers and recycled resins.
and finally to make sure that the car returns to recycling centers, the car could be sold at a price that includes a deposit... like you do with pet glasses at festivals. once the cars life cycle is completed, who returns the 4ever renault to the dealer will be entitled to his reward.
