To celebrate Renault this year but less than 35 years in Formula 1 they have 4 very special copies of the Megane RS developed. Each team currently uses Renault engines has its own edition received.

And so it can happen that we finally see a street car from Renault where the name Williams to read, unfortunately missing is the gold wheels this time. The cars that are made ​​with the livery of Red Bull Racing , Caterham F1 Team Williams F1 Team Lotus F1 team will not be sold. They will by Renault Sport Technologies used during the season during the season with promotional efforts for the brand.

A pity really, because it looks pretty good ie. I venture to say that there would pretty enthusiasm for these colors as they were just for sale.


Incidentally, the new F1 season starts again in 2 weeks and during the tests in the winter, Lotus F1 Team so far the fastest.

Renault don't have a team in F1 any more. They haven't for a few years now. They are soley an engine supplier to the 4 teams (although interestingly the Renault engines in the Red Bull's are branded as Infiniti).

Which bit?

Weeeeeeell oooookk it is true(!) but not strictly renamed as Infiniti - they still have Renault branding on the car which justifies why they've stickered up the Megs.

Yeah, Renault part own Nissan and have struck a deal where the Red Bulls run with Infiniti branding in exchange for free engines (for 2011 at least, this year I think the deal is worth more money than just the engine costs of 8m Euros). Its the exact same engine though, and as you say still have Renault in the team name and on the car.

Still doesn't change the fact those Megans are horrid looking :p
