The Renault Dauphine was a rear-engined economy car manufactured by Renault in one body style – a three-box, four-door sedan – as the successor to the Renault 4CV, with over two million examples marketed worldwide during its production from 1956-1967. Along with cars such as the Volkswagen Beetle, Morris Minor and Fiat 500, the Dauphine pioneered the modern continental economy car. In the United Kingdom, the Dauphine was one of the first imported cars to sell in large numbers, in a market formerly dominated by British manufacturers and local subsidiaries of American manufacturers.
Renault marketed variants of the Dauphine, including a sport model, the Gordini, a luxury version, the Ondine, the 1093 factory racing model, and the Caravelle/Floride, a Dauphine-based two-door convertible.
