In 2022, Renault became a premium partner of Roland-Garros. For the 2023 edition, which will take place from 22 May to 11 June, the home of Losanga brings its style to the tournament, in particular with the presence of the Renault logo on the nets of the five main fields. As part of the partnership between Renault and Roland-Garros, the Renault 5 Prototype show car is enhanced with a new metallic satin white colour. This retro-futuristic vehicle also features new features such as the St Andrew’s Crosses, emblematic symbol of the Stade Roland-Garros, featured on the side grilles. The backlit Roland-Garros logo replaces the iconic 5 that was affixed to it.
For the 2023 edition of the French Open, Renault is making available a fleet of 185 vehicles comprising, in particular, 90 Mégane E-Tech Electrics, 30 Austral E-Tech Full Hybrids and 20 New Renault Espace E-Tech Full Hybrids.
To celebrate 30 years of Twingo, a model that has conquered several generations with fun colors and an attractive design, 3 retrofitted Twingo Electrics have been planned, developed in partnership with R-FIT, to accompany fans and guests, allowing them to reach tournament fields.
During the tournament, Renault will have a stand on the avenues of Roland-Garros where spectators will be able to discover the two show-cars Renault 5 Prototype Roland-Garros and 4EVER Trophy, as well as the New Renault Espace E-Tech Full Hybrid and Austral E-tech Full Hybrids.
Finally, for the entire duration of the tournament, Renault renews the “Let Challenge”: every time the serve ball hits the net before falling into the opponent’s court, the French house will donate 100 euros for this initiative. In the 2022 edition, 161,400 euros were collected, to which Renault added a prize pool of 235,000 euros, making it possible to build three tennis courts (in Lyon, Marseille and Grigny).
