In A View to a Kill, Bond pursues May Day through Paris in a Renault 11 taxi.
The sequence begins with Bond commandeering a Renault 11 taxi and continues as the vehicle is damaged during the chase. Its roof is famously torn away, leaving Bond driving a half-convertible taxi through Paris while following May Day.
The Renault 11 was a compact hatchback produced by Renault from 1983. Using an ordinary Paris taxi rather than a glamorous sports car gives the chase a deliberately chaotic character and emphasizes Bond’s ability to improvise with whatever transport is available.
The vehicle is sometimes identified as a Renault 5 because both are small Renault models. The Renault 11 has a distinctive hatchback body and was the model used for the film’s stunt work.
