Renault Gordini return to racing roots

Renault Gordini is the "ultimate track-focused" vehicles, chief operating officer Carlos Tavares has confirmed. Gordini was acquired by Renault in 1969, a successful F1 team in the early 1950s.

Name will only be used on track-focused models and accompanied Renault’s established performance division. While the Gordini name has been used on cosmetically upgraded versions of the Clio and Twingo.

“Renaultsport models will be sporty and Gordini will be a step beyond, the ultimate track-focused car. Renault Gordini will only be sold for the road as a derivative of a special track car,” said by Tavares.
