Overview
- Renault revealed the R8 Gordini concept Thursday at its Renault Carwalk, and the car will be shown at the Paris Motor Show before going on permanent display at the Renault Collections museum in Flins.
- The concept uses a single rear‑mounted electric motor driving the rear wheels with output cited at about 266–270 horsepower and a carbon‑fiber body on compact, sporty dimensions.
- Styling borrows strongly from the 1960s Gordini with a low, wide stance, six round headlights, blue paint with white racing stripes, and a two‑seat coupé layout that deliberately echoes rally heritage.
- The cabin favors tactile, analog cues over big screens, featuring six round dials on a brushed‑aluminum strip, a central stopwatch, bucket seats with corduroy and Alcantara trim, and driver‑focused controls.
- Renault says the car is a one‑off not intended for production, continuing a string of heritage projects and signaling that select design details could influence future production models.
