In order to pay tribute to the Renault name, which is gonna disappear this year as they rebrand to Alpine, why not we make a thread of Renault F1 cars through the years?
Anyways, let's do this..

Renault RS01 (1977-1979)

It was the first turbocharged F1 car. It was first piloted by Jean-Pierre Jabouille and later, Rene Arnoux. It was also the first to use radial tires.
Renault RS10 (1979)

It was the first turbocharged car to win an F1 race, and the 1979 French GP at Dijon was won by Jabouille, where it would be also the first win for Renault.
Renault RE20 (1980-81)

Jabouille won in 1980 in this car in Austria. In 1981, Alain Prost took his seat and grabbed a podium at Argentina. Meanwhile, Arnoux had scored to wins at Brazil and South Africa.
