Renault Sport Gordini Announced.

[Tom]

Breaking news..

Gordini changes include Malta Blue paintwork (three other colour choices are available) and two white stripes running over the car. Gloss black trim is added to the front bumper and rear diffuser, while the wing mirror housings and F1-style front bib are all finished in white. Diamond-effect 17-inch aluminium alloy wheels with black inserts complete the exterior changes.
Inside, it gets Gordini-badged Renaultsport seats, a blue and black leather-trimmed steering wheel with two white stripes, white dials, a Gordini gearknob, new stitching on the dashboard, new Gordini floor mats and a numbered Gordini plaque on the centre console.
Like the standard 200, the Gordini model comes with a 198bhp 2.0-litre engine and sports chassis as standard, and the firmer Cup suspension set-up will be optional.

 

[Fletcher]

Not a fan TBH.

 

[lbrench]

Don't like it at all, looks very cheap tbh

 

[Daz.]

I'd need to see one in the flesh but I quite like it actually.

 

[Iain C]

its ok.

 

[Sargara]

Well the wheels are a step in the right direction at least. Not too sure on the whole "paint the lower fish mouth white" approach however...

 

[durham]

I can't stand the 200 shape but that is quite nice tbh

 

[172boost]

I like all the gordini's, this is no exception. Prefer the baby blue but still want.

 

[Gally]

Tom didn't you contact them after the twingo thread, tell them to buck up their ideas.

How can you make an ugly car look even worse.

On the upside the interior might be nice without all that yellow jazz on the normal 200.

 

[JT182]

Deary me, I don't even care about all these insignificant changes. All I want is xenons! Why won't they offer them as an option?

 

[The_Pirate]

Stripes make it all to busy i think, wheels are an improvement. Would like to see one on glass black speedlines

 

[jesus]

It won't look like that in person, it does look good on those wheels though.

 

[Munson]

Two winters and those rims will be corroded to f**k.

 

[Revels]

Why have the stripes swapped sides from the 182?

 

[Goodj]

wasted opportunity.

could have used the Gordini tag on a "trophy" style special edition. Something with substance, not just a cynical wheels 'n' stickers exercise.

 

[richard1]

I actually like the 'F1 blade' in white

 

[Gally]

Should have been RB aswell.

 

[Magic Johnson]

This^

Or at least something different engine wise.

 

[JayR]

Nice!

Needs Recaros though.

 

[Marv-C]

Why don't the stripes continue down the bumper? Looks stupid in the photo. Colour is nice though.

 

[Harpham]

Looks ok... what are the other colours?
Dont particularly like the blue!

 

[swordjo]

looks like Abe from Hellboy!

 

[Riad]

I like it!

 

[robo_#1]

Rotten, cheap looking cash-in on a past brand. Everything I dont like about the 200 x10 on that one, they were starting to grow on me until I saw that monstrosity!

The colour isnt bad, but doesnt look that far off RB, and I want to see these special black wheels as they arent on any of the pics?

 

[Beef-Mc]

I'll wait to comment until I've actually seen one and not just a drawing.

 

[Gareth]

looks better in those pics than it does of the ones of it in Geneva (guess its because its RHD), I'll have a proper look at it when I'm there on Tuesday.

[Beef-Mc]

Ha, just seen those pics, it's no good.

 

[Tom@JMS]

Can see what they are trying to do, but they are diluting the RenaultSport brand to much in my opinion. Not a fan

 

[yellowbelly]

Just looks like a 200 with an extra piece of bumper attached surely- wow!!!

 

[blondie.x]

the twingo looks better imo

 

[daydotz]

not a fan didnt like the twingo either all ive seen is them trying to make it look premium with a bit of blue leather polished and painted alloys a stripe an fancy blue paint :dead:

malta blue was also ment to be exclusive for the gt :S

 

[welsh172]

\wtf? those wheels look like 13 inch wheels

 

[.Ben.]

If it were a stripped back, bare-bones, lightweight variant - I'd understand its existence.

As it is, I don't.

Wheels look shoite too...

 

[Harpham]

They should make another Vee

 

[Nick172Cup]

Liked the original picture but that real life one looks poo! White speedlines on it may make it look alot better I reckon.

 

[172head]

wasted opportunity.

could have used the Gordini tag on a "trophy" style special edition. Something with substance, not just a cynical wheels 'n' stickers exercise.

Totally agree with you Sir, they should of strapped a Turbo to it

 

[DMS]

The wheels look too small IMO.

 

[Gally]

Those wheels do look terrible.

 

[seb]

LOL at the steering wheel ...

 

[Munson]

Jesus. Renaultsport need to have a serious word with themselves.. That looks f**king s**t.
