Renault launching new 4WS Active Drive system

Four-wheel-steering (4WS) is one of those technologies that never really made it past the 1980s in great success.

Renault hasn’t given up on the concept and plans to launch a new version called ‘Active Drive,’ which will debut on the new Laguna Coupe at the Geneva Motor Show next March.

Let's see what advancements have been made in the last 10 (or so) years.

Most likely the same or improved four-wheel-steering system used by Infiniti in their G and M cars, no big surpirse there.
