Renault 8 Gordini Concept Is Fully Electric, Has 270 Horsepower, and Gorgeous Retro-Modern Looks
The two-seat concept delivers 270 horsepower and revives the original model’s twin stripes and dashboard visor in a modern electric design.
- Renault revealed the new Gordini Concept, an electric two-seater coupe with widebody styling and retro-inspired design. The prototype signals a potential third model in the company's electric revival series.
- As a tribute to the rear-engined model tuned by "The Sorcerer" Gordini, the French automaker is reviving its 128-year history. The original won rallies with 95 horsepower; this version delivers 270 electric ponies.
- With an electric powertrain churning out 270 horsepower, the coupe brings the "café racer" niche into the 21st century. Measuring 4.12m long and 1.27m tall, it sits on 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels.
- Alexandre Malval, VP Design at Renault, explained the project aims to "spark emotion" by blending heritage with modern performance. Inside the cabin, the dashboard visor runs the width of the interior, mirroring original design cues.
- Following the prototype's reveal at the Renault Carwalk, the concept will make its global public debut on the Renault stand at the Paris Motor Show from October 12 through 18, 2026. The event showcases the brand's latest electric innovation.
