a little story about renault sport



  Clio RS 172 ph1
Sorry for the translation...the original post is in spanish and I use the google translator....this is a small collection of data about RS....I´m from Argentina and I am a new fan of Renault Sport! ....vive le Sport!

According to the reading I've done in my free time in Renault ..... there are three main groups:


Renault = series cars
Renault Sport = racing cars and versions of some of these series are approved for street
Renault F1 Team = Formula 1 Team

The history of Renault Sport, actually now called the "Renault Sport Technology", born with Alpine and Gordini, these manufacturers were prepared competition cars for Renault. Over time these factories Renault buys and takes care of those two marks, taking out several versions of which ran in various categories in Europe. In some of these same cars, they begin to produce versions in series to the street with good sporting performance. In 1976 exactly, Renault Sport comes as an "evolution" as the Alpine factory. The only factory in RS, where they develop these models, is just the old Alpine plant, located in Dieppe, north of France, facing the Channel and near the Alps (hence the name "Alpine"). ... RS developments were many, particularly the versions used in rally and various competition categories (also for Formula One cars to q separated by the creation of division "Renault F1 Team" in 2002) which it participated and participates Renault, eg the "cup clio. Some of these cars, they begin to be manufactured in volume by RS, this is the case of Spider and Williams. Since 2000, RS not only produces some competition cars and production models, but also began to be used as a "trademark" as it somehow and series cars began to be called by the name of the model concerned followed by the name RS or "Renault Sport" ... the first car to bear the name "RS" was the clio RS PH1 172. Later born the RS and Megane RS twingo. Also recently relaunched the brand "Gordini" and left the plant's limited editions RS Gordini Clio, Twingo and Megane Gordini Gordini. The models developed by RS occur only in the former Alpine facility in Dieppe, except, I think, the new Megane RS that while the development and manufacture of motors is RS, tamb cars are assembled at a plant in Spain ( I'm not sure, I told an English but can q be confused with the new 180 hp Megane RS ).... which is not good, then I continue and add more photos ..... but anyway, Renault Sport combining their knowledge, the experience of Renault in the competition and in the manufacture of automobiles, to offer sports car series.


Here I leave an official site RS, put it in the translator, so the translation is average q cops, but you can navigate and has lots of info piola:

wow never seen some of those before. Makes me feel sad to see them watering down the Gordini heritage so much, i wonder how long until Alpine gets the same treatment :/

That Gordini 200 picture made me sad.

The rest are so awesome! The Forum might be able to use some actually.

Cracking heritage!

Thanks for posting!

Interesting to see the petrol blue 172 with those wheels and cream interior. I've seen the wheels on French Sport models before, but never the interior. It's like a Sport/Initiale cross over.

These would make a nice garage collection...

I love the fact they just get dumped on the kerb outside the factory

Brilliant thread! Reminds me why I became a Renault geek so many years ago.

Petrol blue with the cream leather looks like a ph2 exclusive.
