Presented in 1971 together with the R17, the Renault 15 had a more traditional line and a less sporty vocation than the 17. The most brilliant engine was that of the TS, with 98 horsepower and unlike the 17, the 15 never had a Gordini trim. In 1976 the second series was presented, which remained in production until 1979, when the 17 was discontinued too.
