- Roughly twenty authentic Turbo-era Formula 1 cars from 1981–1985, from RE27B to RE60 and including the Spa-winning RE40, headline the catalogue, with some accompanied by original technical notebooks.
- Competition highlights extend to the Alpine A442 in chassis 0 configuration and rally icons such as the Maxi Turbo 5 B0 and a Renault 5 GT Turbo Bandama preserved with its original red dust.
- Road and design highlights include an Alpine A610 Evolution described as the most powerful built, an Alpine V6 Turbo, numerous wind-tunnel and studio models, and rare curiosities like the “Reinastella” flying saucer display piece.
- Renault will retain 600 emblematic vehicles and at least one example of each model as it consolidates more than 800 preserved items into the public ‘Les collections’ museum scheduled to open in 2027.
