VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA – November 13, 2009: The little blue bombshells with two white stripes are back!

The famous “Gorde” was a symbol of French success that thrilled several generations of motorists who were thirsty for sporty sensations at the wheel of a fun car. The French blue, white stripes and radiator grill with its four round headlights all contributed to an eternal identity that is an important part of Renault's sporting heritage.

In a few months, new Gordini-labeled versions will supplement the Renault Sport range and strengthen Renault’s offering in the compact sports segment in Europe.

The fashionable and sporty Gordini label still possesses its exclusive and sporting values. The Gordini versions, derived from sports models that are already renowned for their outstanding performance, will appeal to lovers of thrills at the wheel and a distinctive design.

Twingo Gordini RS will be unveiled on 25 November at L’Atelier Renault on the Champs Elysées in Paris as part of the “Christmas in Blue” exhibition. It will be launched next spring. Clio Gordini RS will be launched a few months later in Europe

Renault Australia confirmed that the Clio RS range for 2010 will be well animated and that a Gordini version is a potential opportunity should it becomes available to the International Market.

We have achieved success in 2005 with the Limited Edition of Clio Gordini
