History
The first Renault 8 Gordini was presented at the 1964 Paris Motor Show at 11,500 francs, with a 1,100 cc type R1143 engine, hemispherical cylinder head and two Solex dual carburettors rated 95 hp at 6,500 rpm. It had 200 mm headlights, double rear shock absorbers, a tighter steering system and Hydrovac brakes, and an extra 26 litre boot tank raised fuel capacity to 64 litres. Blue de France paint with two white stripes distinguished it. Renault says it reached 170 km/h and covered 1,000 m from a standing start in 33 seconds, and it was homologated in Group 2 in February 1965.
