1:24 Renault R8 Gordini
IIn 1962, the Régie Renault launched the Renault 8 which, along with the R10, was the last car with an engine placed at the rear until the appearance of the Twingo III in 2014. It was not until the 1964 Paris Motor Show that the R8 Gordini (TYPE R1134) was introduced. It will very quickly be recognisable in its Bleu France 418 dress and its double white stripe running the length of the car. The first car offering sporty performance accessible with a production car budget, its oversteer behaviour (it drifts from the rear) due to the engine placed in rear overhang will make it a reference of sporty driving for experienced drivers but also for all skidding amateurs. A total of 11607 Renault Gordini were produced, including 8981 for the 1300 version alone. A true icon of a generation, the “Gorde” is today a true icon of a generation, and is now competing at the price of great sports cars full of technology. Its performance remains intact, however.
