Renault 6
The Renault 6 (R6) was launched at the 1968 Paris Motor Show, and was intended to be an upmarket alternative to the Renault 4. It used a similar dashboard-mounted gear-lever and over-the-engine linkage to that used in the Renault 4 and the small Citroëns with which it competed. The R6 used the R4 platform as well as its 845 cc (51.6 cu in) engine and was technically near-identical, but its hatchback body was larger and more modern. Visually it resembled the larger Renault 16.
