That is a nice photo! Any idea how it happened? I can't read the french on the site, and theres too much to translate...

Well looks like someone will get a new car under the warranty, I guess that engine had a few heat issue's

Hey Renault I got a problem with my car. And whats that sir. Well you see its on fire and sort of unrecognisable now. Ah sir sorry our warranty only covers the dust on the alloys, sorry.

From what I can make out from the french forums.

There was some kind of oil leak onto the hot exhaust, since the car had just driven 4000KM for some kind of race.

This led to a small fire under the petrol tank.

And you can guess the rest

Good old French build quality!


Notice the guy on the right with the red t-shirt, very unusual pose for putting out a fire?! Looks like he's about to start break dancing or h'es trying to impersonate that dancing citroen car advert?

That is some car fire.

Thats bad Would have been worse if it'd have happened after a crash, your seatbelts have just pretensioned and you can't get the thing undone.

Blimey the remainder of that alloy is nigh on nothing.

wonder what they'll get instead, seeing as renault dont make em any more..

that one had only done 2,500 miles, but its a 'phase 2' so i'm guessing renault wont touch it.
