I must admit, you've got to give it to Renault for their out-of-the-box thinking in many cases, this and the Avantime being clear examples. Sadly, they don't always translate well into commercial success.

[@UTopia-eg7gm]

It’s true that out of the box thinking is not always a commercial succes. But creativity leads often to new good ideas and inventions. The Renault 16 was a spectacular car when it was launched in 1965. It was never seen before a larger car with hatchback/liftback configuration: big hatch-door and folding rear seats.

[@catjudo1]

There really were a number of rear engined cars, even here in the USA. My grandfather drove a Renault Dauphine and my dad owned two Chevrolet Corvairs. An uncle drove VW Beetles exclusively (including one that he clobbered a deer with and straightened out again, this the Deerslayer - He took the deer home, prepared it and his family ate it.) This Renault takes the cake though. I can't help but think that the seating position so far in front of the wheels might be a bit awkward and the lack of a real trunk/boot would be a problem. But it looked neat if nothing else, as did the Avantime, at least in my opinion. And lest we forget the Corvair Greenbriar van, which shared its engine with the standard Corvair and put the driver ahead of the front wheels. It was a neat vehicle too. Great videos sir, and enjoyed the smeg-ups at the end!

[@Blackadder75]

@@akronymus How was the R-16 a Citroen, it doesn't share anything with Citroen design from the early '70s.

[@akronymus]

@@trespire Citroen indeed had a prototype very similar to the R16. Design by Citroen was a bit more futuristic. Citroen's answer was the GS as a luxury small car. I had one for some time, do not know anything better. On fact, the CX was Citroen's end. Fine car with e loud 1940s' engine. My ather bought a BX 19 diesel later, not quite as comfortable as a GS, but a work-horse built to last.

[@trespire]

@@akronymus My first car was an '83 GSA in green. The 1.3 flat four was quick but it only had 4 gears and the air conditioning was bust. I now own 2 CX's, a '75 CX2000 which need total restoration but all the bits are there except the front seats which are out of a BX. And an '87 CX 25 GTI in metallic maroon. Just need to replace the tires which I can't find, rims are 390mm alloys. The GS came in a similar family hatchback body style as the R16, but it came with a smaller albeit lively 1.2 flat four, looked more aerodynamic and had those wonderful suspension. Frankly I don't see much in common between the two designs other than them both competing for the same market.

[@akronymus]

@@trespire The first GS came with a 1.0 l 4-cyl boxer, and it was great. I had and loved one. The Citroen prototype I was talking about has nothing to do with the GS. Renault took up the concept and put on the ridiculous base of the R4 torsion spring design.

VW got this right with the T1 (1950): The front wheelarches go below the front doors, with the cutout next to the driver/passenger footwells, and the little V8 should have been mounted between the rear wheels (with the transmission under the rear seats), giving plenty of room behind it for a proper (if rather warm) boot.
