Talk about bringing back to life a famous nameplate only to dilute it by using it for special edition models with minor cosmetic tweaks. That’s what Renault has been doing with the Gordini moniker for the past few years, with the once iconic French sports car brand’s name now standing for a blue shade with white stripes and added equipment features.
Renault bosses have admitted their wrongdoing with the Gordini name and have vowed to use it in the future exclusively on RenaultSport (RS) versions, which would come with added power and suspension changes, as well as on track and rally models.
Regardless if the French carmaker holds true to its promise for performance gains, one thing is for sure: all Gordini models will come with that special shade of light blue with twin racing stripes in white, which makes the work of Photoshop experts like Khalil Bouguerra all the easier.
Below you will find a pair of CGIs showing what the new Clio RS 200 hot hatch would look like on the outside with the Gordini treatment.
