PARIS.- Partners since 2022, Artcurial Motorcars and Renault announce a unique event in the history of the collection: The Renault Icons, an unprecedented and exceptional auction to be held on 7 December 2025 at the emblematic Renault factory in Flins-sur-Seine, 40 kilometres from Paris, which will also become the future Renault collections museum.

As part of its heritage strategy unveiled in June 2025, Renault is preserving 600 of its most emblematic models, safeguarding at least one example of every vehicle produced since 1898. This heritage will be showcased to the public in a new exhibition space in Flins, set to open its doors in 2027.

To achieve this, Renault is streamlining its collection by parting with identical vehicles, unique lots offered for sale for the very first time at auction. This auction will feature 100 vehicles that have shaped the legend of the marque – prototypes, road cars, and racing cars, including 20 Formula 1 single-seaters that have competed in the World Championship – along with 100 exceptional automobilia lots (F1 engines, design models, wind tunnel mock-ups, etc.), all directly from Renault’s heritage and entirely new to the market.

This major auction will offer Artcurial Motorcars and Renault the opportunity to retrace 125 years of technical innovation, automotive design, and sporting success.

Held at the Flins site – birthplace of iconic models such as the Dauphine, the Renault 5, four generations of Clio, and the ZOE – the event will bring together collectors and enthusiasts eager to acquire a piece of history and discover automotive treasures until now carefully preserved within Renault’s private collection.
