Renault is showing the Sport R.S. 01 at the Moscow International
Automobile Salon this week. Driven by the Nismo V6 3,8L twin-turbo engine that
is designed by affiliate company Nissan for the GT-R, the R.S. 01 will be one of
the stars of World Series by Renault in the new Renault Sport Trophy
championship, a springboard for the professional GT and Endurance championships.
Meanwhile, Autocar
reports that Renault also plans to introduce a concept super frugal car at next
month’s Paris Auto Show that will impress European drivers even more — as
Renault claims their experimental car can go 50 kilometres per litre, in answer
to the French government’s challenge to car makers to be more efficient.
