French Car Brands

French Car Brands

  • They were the first to create a model equipped with an internal combustion engine in 1883, but mass production of cars did not take place.
  • Such popularity of French cars all over the world is conditioned by a high level of development of the automobile industry of this country – there are several large manufacturers, such as Peugeot, Citroen, and Renault, which are rightfully included in the list of world-leading companies.
  • However, if they specialize mainly in “inexpensive” cars (though they do not stop constantly making “premium requests”), one more French company – Bugatti – is “giving birth” to really powerful and exclusive supercars.
  • Bugatti Founded: 1909 Founder: Ettore Bugatti This luxury French automotive brand was established in 1909 by the Italian designer Ettore Bugatti.
  • Before his tragic death in 1939 he managed to present to the world several models of prestigious sports cars.
  • Today Venturi is also focused on the production of electric cars.
  • Sports Car Brands Although France is most known for its mass-market brands and Bugatti, there are several very reputable and reliable sports car manufacturers, which have been on the market for decades and only proved their professionalism and value of quality and style in the manufacturing process.
  • The company specialized in the production of sports coupes, which were to challenge the dominance of British and Italian brands on the French car market.
  • And then the company made a name for itself with another model, the A110 of 1962, which was sold in all Renault showrooms.
  • Peugeot Founded: 1896 Founder: The Peugeot Brothers Peugeot is the legendary and the oldest car company in France, which began its way two centuries ago, in 1896.
  • Today the name of the French car brand Peugeot is known all over the world.
  • Cars of the popular Renault brand are sold in 120 countries around the world with a total of 2.5 million cars every year.
  • Today Renault is a truly international brand, having subsidiaries on all the continents and its cars on the streets of most world cities.
  • By merging with Renault Group, the company began to produce Dacia 1300, 1310, 1400, 1410 models.
  • Microcar Founded: 1984 Founder: Philippe Ligier The French Microcar brand was founded in 1984 as a division of the Beneteau Group, a major sailboat manufacturer.
  • The direction of its activity was radically different from the main company, being focused on the production of microcars.
  • At various times the company’s model lineup was represented by sports cars and racing cars, civilian cars and limousines, as well as military equipment.
  • Berliet Founded: 1899 Defunct: 1978 Berliner is the name of one of the oldest French car brands, which was established in 1978 by the talented car mechanic Maurice Berliet.
  • At the same time, the Delahaye factory ceased to exist 18 years later, in 1954, having failed to enrich itself on the production of cars.
  • Truly popular small cars of this brand were produced in France from 1934 to 1970.
