Although 'Cuatro Latas' is not an official brand, it is one of the names that the Renault 4L car received in Spain. The R4 (the number was for its 4 cylinders) had many versions during the 1960s; 1970 and 1980s when it was manufactured in European, African and South American plants, and while all were inexpensive, the 'L' model was the "luxury" version 128527; . The Hispanic nickname is an irony about this 'L', although a little unfair since despite its flimsy appearance it was a very robust and versatile vehicle that came to compete in raid or rally type races. But it wasn't the only case; among the many popular (and advertising) names he received, in Argentina there was also that of "Renolata" (a humorous dissimilation of "Renoleta").
