Renault Gordini To Be Revived
Renault Gordini To Be Revived in 2009
Black Renault 5 Gordini
Rumour is rife that the new 2009 Clio and Twingo hot hatches from RenaultSport will be given the iconic and legendary Gordini name. The last car to recieve any Gordini honours was the Clio 182 which was given the same colour scheme and white stripes as with the Renault 8, 12 and 5 Gordini.
The latest news from AutoExress and Car Magazine suggest that the the hot hatches will be one of two things… either, the hot hatch versions of the standard cars sitting above the normal versions of the car, but NOT RenaultSport models will be given the Gordini name, OR that these will be a hardcore version that sits above the current RenaultSport levels – maybe in the way that the Megane R26.R has been recently. I would expect that it will be a sporty version of the Clio and Twingo rather than a Hardcore racer.
The options are expected to be similar to what BMW do with the mini and Fiat with the Abarth version of the 500, but expect to see paint, alloy, and detailing options.
Unfortunately we weren’t courted by the Senior Vice President of Global Marketing at Geneva to be given the scoop, but… you probably found out here first.
Either way, it sounds interesting…
