Renault Reveals the Fourth Vehicle in the Gordini Line-Up:
Wind Roadster Gordini
PARIS – February 3, 2011: Following the successful launch of the
Twingo and Clio Gordini models, Renault’s stylish Wind Roadster is
the next to receive the “French touch”. Expanding the
coupé-roadster range with a version featuring the finest equipment
available on the chic two-seater, this exclusive model will be presented at
the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show from 1 March 2011.
A true
driver’s car, the coupé-roadster proudly bears the Gordini colours.
Shod with 17-inch black diamond alloy wheels, it features Malta blue
bodywork with trademark twin white stripes, Glacier white door mirrors,
grille trim and rear wing, and a gloss black roof. A badge marked with a
“G” completes the Gordini look.
Wind Roadster Gordini also places particular emphasis on interior
design. The cabin features special “Gordini” black and blue
leather upholstery, blue and white door straps and a blue leather steering
wheel with the signature white stripes on the centreband. A leather gear
lever gaiter and polished metal gearknob bearing the Gordini name complete
the look.
But first and foremost, the Gordini name expresses a community
spirit that has travelled down the years. Just as Gordini drivers of the
1960s and 1970s flashed their headlamps as a sign of recognition when they
met on the road, so the modern Gordini community meets up on social
networks. In an innovative move by Renault, they were the first to receive
news of the Wind Roadster Gordini reveal with a teaser posted on the
Gordini fan page on Facebook on 31 January.
