Some Renault Gordini.
In parallel with Alpine, there were other sports cars which are worth being mentioned, the Gordini.
The most famous and legendary is the R8 Gordini, with its small 1, 3 liter 4 Cylinders, developing 110 HP, with an excellent weight / power ratio.

The big difference between the R 8 Gordini and the modern Gordini is that the moderns don't have an improved engine, with more power than the series. They just receive a cosmetic treatment ( body and interior ).
The Clio Gordini ( 203 HP ), like the one belonging to our dear Bimbeano ( Clio RS ) :
And the Twingo Gordini, with 133 HP. That one I would love to try!

Now, we know that Gordini is out, and that Alpine is in charge of the Renault Sports Cars. We'll see in a very few years what we'll have...

It was cognac colored, black interior, 4 of those gigantic high beam lights on the front bumper (these were drawing mire power than the generator could generate) You had to put a heavy bag of sound of something similar because the aerodynamics weren’t tha...
Renault 8 Gordini ... 👍👏
what a nice little “monster” that was. Saw many R8 in my earliest youth, but only once a R8 Gordini in real life. Much later, if memory serves in the late 1990-ies I saw one in a barn like garage, close to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Have a great day! George ...
True, sightings of the new one are still rare, in the Netherlands that is.
I see almost every day a Taycan, but seeing a modern Alpine is almost like seeing a blue Mauritius 🙂
Oh, I clearly remember this one!
It was the first car I set in. My dad had one, the Romanian version Dacia 1100, noisy rear engine that he always hand washed on Saturdays;-))) He had it until if memory serves me well 1977, then sold it because the car just rusted away. That hood is so un...
How much was the weight ?
Around 700 kilos ? Such an icon 😜🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤. A good friend of me owned the Clio Gordini seen on the right, but actually it was a mistake by Renault to try and revive the Gordini brand, especially since the only changes were optical. Also, the Clio 3 RS , also ...
Nono!
Because of the A110 it wasn’t possoble anymore to produce the Renaultsports in Dieppe. The Clio 4 RS was the last Renaultsport made there. The Megane 4 RS is built in the regular Megane factory.
