The Renault Sport R.S. 01 has made its first laps in public on October 18 at the Jerez track in Spain, for the last leg of the World Series By Renault.
At the wheel, Alain Prost was impressed by its performance: "The Renault Sport R.S. 01 is magnificent, and that’s important in terms of image. This is a new step forward for Renault, since it is launching what is actually a typical Endurance car. It’s a real race car, while being closely linked to the product since its design was largely inspired by the new production models."
Overall, 58 000 spectators were able to appreciate the elegant lines, distinctive sound and dynamic qualities of this R.S. 01 during its first public demonstration. The first customers will be able to take delivery in March 2015.
As a small reminder, the Renault Sport R.S. 01 features a carbon monocoque chassis and a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine which produces more than 500 hp and 600 Nm of torque. It will make its racing debut at the Spa circuit in mid-2015.
