1985 Renault Fuego GTX. For French cars lovers.

I must say that I was never very impressed by this one... For me, the French Coupés, the iconic ones are the Facel Vega, the Citroen SM, the Alpines, the Venturi and a few Peugeot, I mean the iconic ones. 4 Cylinders, 2 liters, 110 HP: Best, Nicolas

PRV = Peugeot Renault Volvo = a match made in engineering heaven? I think not

But I just read up on it and learned they made nearly a million of these motors: VERSIONS Z6W-A 700: 2849 cc carbureted version for Renault Alpine V6 GT Z7U-702: Used in the Renault 25 V6 Turbo Z7U-730: turbocharged version for Renault Alpine V6 Turbo Z7X

Superb models on display here. MVS became only "Venturi" later on and the great Venturi 400GT in 1994/95 was their road version of the race car

Interestingly I did not know they made special versions for Italy. At the time there were limitations to 2000cc / 2 liters for the engines to pay less taxes. this forced Maserati to do a 2000cc V6 twin-turbo to compensate for this limitation

A curiosity: MVS Venturi 111 Cup.

Were they connected to MVS?

I remember a company called Manufacture de Voitures de Sport …(or something similar) from that era. Was the Venturi their child? In any way, many thanks for bringing back memories from that time, Nico. I don’t know how well it was driving but I’m sure it
