The Racoon was a concept car made by Renault, which was revealed virtually in 1992 as a CG model, then a physical model was revealed in the Geneva International Auto Show in 1993.

It featured 3 seats, 2 at the front and a mid-mounted rear seat, as well as cameras instead of side mirrors, and a sat nav system projected onto a heads-up display, all pretty high tech back in the 90’s!

It was designed to push the limits of 4x4 tech, with manageable independent suspension, amphibious capabilities, and futuristic aesthetics that made it look like a rover.

It's is one of my favourite 90's concept cars because of its bulbous shaping and the way the axles/suspension are designed, and I wanted to try and build it in a 8-wide Speed Champions scale.
