Renault Gt-r?

god, that old paint job is so much better than the new ING setup

agreed

I am streching the old grey matter a bit, but I seem to remember talk about Renault rebadging the GTR as the new alpine? It was a few years ago, and could have been the flight of fancy of a motoring journo tho

Renault could use their own engine and keep everything else with the way the transaxle is set up. I doubt they would cross breed directly, as they want to reduce Reault's manufacturing costs... not Nissans. They will take as much technology as they can though.

Mid mounted VR38TT powered Clio Sport.

Anyone thinking a mid-mounted VR25DET AWD Clio? VW Golf R32 beware!

I recall seeing something about VW making a one-off prototype Golf with a mid mounted Gallardo V10...

Let me see if I can dig it up...

and how dare people give renault shit for not creating high performance car, after all they brought us this:

u cant deny its impressive performance specs:

home-school: 6.5 seconds

school-supermarket: 7.8 seconds

the thing people obviously forget about f1 is that its a big money game so do you honestly recon renault arent getting the best engineers they have working on their f1 cars. if the best engineers nissan have are working on the gt-r then chances are there involved in the f1 team at some point. renault wouldnt waste an opportunity like that.

Is the Stagea still kicking around in Japan .....?

No.

Ended last production run mid last year.

I like ur line of thinking tho.....

A modern A110 with gtr running gear...I'd love to see that. A110's were/are horn

Renault drivers are worse than Volvo drivers and they dont deserve a quality car anything close to a GTR. The sad truth is Renault is good at F1 but the passenger and commercial cars are very average. Some have great safety features which suit the 'Volvo type driver' market perfectly. The Megane Sport is 'sporty' but thats it apart from the lovely whistling turbo. (only the French would make a car that whistles) booooooo i say boooooo!
