Renault just brought one of its most iconic rally-inspired machines into the electric era with the new Renault 8 Gordini Concept.

The one-off two-seat coupe reimagines the legendary Renault 8 Gordini with a low, wide stance, rear-wheel-drive layout and a 270-horsepower electric motor mounted at the back.

Its design keeps several signatures from the original, including the unmistakable racing blue paint, twin white stripes and boxy proportions that made the Gordini instantly recognizable.

Renault gave the concept six circular headlights, massive wheel arches and staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels to push the design toward a modern rally-car aesthetic.

The original Renault 8 Gordini launched in 1964 with a rear-mounted 95-horsepower engine and became an important part of Renault’s motorsport heritage.

For the new concept, Renault’s own designers reportedly submitted more than 300 proposals before the final design was selected and developed.

Unfortunately, Renault says the 8 Gordini Concept is a unique design exercise rather than a production model, meaning this retro-inspired EV is not currently planned for sale.

Should Renault actually put the electric Renault 8 Gordini into production?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
