F1 Cars with Renault Engines
A History of Success
Renault has a long and successful history in Formula 1, dating back to the 1970s. The French manufacturer has powered some of the most iconic cars in the sport, including the Lotus 79, Williams FW14B, and Red Bull RB6. In recent years, Renault has enjoyed a resurgence in form, supplying engines to the Red Bull and McLaren teams.
Renault’s engines are renowned for their power and reliability. The RS27 engine that powered the Red Bull RB6 to the 2011 championship was one of the most dominant engines in F1 history. In 2016, Renault returned to the sport as a works team, and its R.S.16 car showed promise in the early races of the season.
