Renault skips RS treatment with Gordini edition Wind Roadster
Filed under: Convertible, Europe, Renault
Renault Wind Roadster Gordini - Click above for high-res image gallery When Renault brought the Gordini name out of retirement, enthusiasts took note. After all, Gordini was once one of the most respected names in the business. Some were a little disappointed that the name was applied to existing Renaultsport models that bore no changes beyond a paint job, but that was alright, because the company's RS hot hatches are already regarded as some of the best around. But then they slapped the same blue paint and white stripes on standard models, and things went downhill. Now Renault has announced a new Gordini version of the Wind Roadster. The innovative little convertible, as you may recall, is based on the Twingo but features the same kind of flip-top roof as the Ferrari 575 SuperAmerica. Unfortunately, that's where the similarities between the Ferrari and the Renault end, relegating the Wind to the poseur category. So what has Renault done to give the Wind the Gordini treatment? Sadly, they skipped the RS treatment altogether and went straight for the color scheme. So it's got the French racing blue paint with the white stripes, 17-inch alloys and white trim, with the theme continuing to the interior. Oh, and there's a Facebook page coming. Unfortunately, that appears to be the extent of it, so this is one European offering most won't pine for from abroad.
