The Renault R17 Electric Restomod x Ora Ïto represents an electric concept car crafted by the French manufacturer Renault, officially revealed in 2024.
Presentation
The R17 Electric Restomod was first introduced at the Chantilly Concours d'Elegance on 15 September 2024 and later displayed at the 2024 Paris Motor Show on 15 October. This exclusive concept reinterprets the 1971 Renault 17 by integrating a fully electric drivetrain along with a contemporary design refresh, created by Marseille-based designer Ora Ito, which is acknowledged in its naming.
Specifications
Maintaining the original Renault 17’s unibody structure, the Restomod retains its iconic shape while featuring several modern enhancements. The classic round headlights have been updated to rectangular units, the fenders have been extended by 17 cm, and the wheel arches have undergone redesign. The coupe is finished in a unique "Galactic Brown" color.
The traditional 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine has been substituted with a 270 hp electric motor positioned on the rear axle, highlighting Renault’s commitment to electric propulsion in their concept models.
