Renault 8 Gordini Concept Unveiled as 270HP RWD EV with Café Racer Aesthetic
Renault has unveiled the 8 Gordini Concept, a 270HP rear-wheel-drive battery-electric homage to the 1964 original. The two-door coupé retains the boxy form while measuring 4.12m long, 1.88m wide and 1.27m tall, with wider tracks and prominent wheelarches housing 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels. The design draws from the café racer aesthetic—stripping non-essential features to maximize raw beauty of materials. Circular triple headlights reference the original rally car, while the shell-shaped mirrors and full-width grille at the windscreen base pay homage to the 1964 model. Interior features a brushed aluminum center strip, with blue corduroy center seats contrasting black bucket seats. A one-off design exercise with no production plans, the designer noted the original was a "working class hero" and the concept keeps that honest, approachable character.
