Renault Extends Its Gordini Line-Up COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE November 2, 2010 RENAULT EXTENDS ITS GORDINI LINE-UP • The appeal of Twingo Gordini R.S. and Clio Gordini R.S. to a younger, but also more feminine market has seen sales of Renault Sport models grow. To build on this success, Renault has decided to extend its catalogue of 'French Touch' cars with the introduction of Twingo Gordini which slots into the Twingo range instead of the GT version. • Twingo Gordini targets motorists who are looking for a combination of French style and great dynamics. In addition to its Gordini cues, the newcomer boasts a particularly well-appointed interior. • Twingo Gordini marks the availability of unprecedented equipment for the Twingo range, including new sports seats with additional lateral support and 15-inch diamond-effect wheels (depending on market). The options list also includes Gordini-badged blue and black leather* upholstery. • Twingo Gordini will be marketed across most of Europe. Order books for the TCe 100hp version are already open in France, with prices starting from €14,800. A NEW ADDITION TO THE SUCCESSFUL GORDINI LINE-UP The Gordini range is Renault's modern take on Gordini's world which is appealing to an increasing number of motorists who want a car with a truly exclusive temperament. In a matter of months, Renault has successfully applied its French Touch hallmark to its sporty R.S. versions. • The French Touch hallmark has boosted sales of Renault Sport models: o With a market share of almost 25 percent of the five main European countries (up five points), Twingo RS is the second best-selling hot hatch, while Clio R.S. is second in its class thanks to a market share of 20.1 percent (up four points). o This success is due to the new Gordini versions which account for around two- thirds of Twingo R.S. sales and one-third of Clio R.S. sales in Europe. * Bovine leather seat fronts, cushions, backs and head rests; other parts upholstered in coated fabric. • Emergence of a community: Gordini's bespoke Facebook page already has more than 28,000 fans, while the iPhone® application has been downloaded more than 115,000 times. The Facebook community's profile differs from that of the conventional R.S. models, in that it is more feminine (twice as many lady fans) and is an average 15 years younger. • French Touch appeal: nine customers in ten choose the blue livery, while only one percent of buyers order the car without its white stripes. These statistics point to the draw of the Gordini versions' livery and the timeless appeal of their looks. The Gordini line-up has enabled Renault to extend its reach to a younger, more feminine audience, with Twingo R.S.'s market share up by five percentage points in the 30/40 age group and by two points with regard to lady buyers. Renault has decided to extend the range with the launch of Twingo Gordini which is poised to reinforce the image of the brand's small city car. The new French Touch version replaces Twingo GT and targets customers looking for a dynamic vehicle with sporty looks. It also provides Twingo buyers looking for chic, sporty styling with a chance to profit from the Gordini name. TIMELESS STYLING CUES • Exterior Gordini features: o A Malte Blue metallic finish incorporating the two legendary white Gordini stripes plus matching white styling details and accessories (foglamp surrounds, exterior mirror housings, rear spoiler). Pearlescent Black and Glacier White versions are also available. In the case of the latter, the styling details and accessories are picked out in Cold Metal Grey. • Interior Gordini features: o Mixed leather*/fabric upholstery with embroidered Gordini badging and visible white stitching. o Blue leather* door trim inserts with visible white stitching. o Blue leather-trimmed** steering wheel with visible stitching and two white stripes to indicate the straight ahead position. o Blue rev-counter with white background and bezel. o Blue metal 'Gordini' gear lever knob and blue leather** gear lever bellows. o Leather*-trimmed dashboard cowl with visible stitching. o Black lacquer-finish centre console. o Aluminium pedal pads. • With regard to equipment, Twingo Gordini delivers the best of the Twingo range, including manual or automatic climate control (depending on market), cruise control with speed limiter, 80W radio-CD with MP3 playback and Bluetooth® connectivity (hands-free calls, voice recognition, audio streaming) and independent sliding rear seats. * coated fabric ** split leather 2 Twingo Gordini can also be ordered with features previously unavailable for Twingo GT, including Renault Sport-type seats with additional lateral support, mixed blue and black upholstery and even blue or black diamond-effect wheels (depending on market). Leather upholstery, which wasn't available for Twingo GT either, figures on the list of options, too. PUNCHY ENGINES AND LOW CO2 EMISSIONS Twingo Gordini is available with a choice of two feisty Euro5-compliant engines: • With the punchy, responsive TCe 100 engine under the bonnet, Twingo Gordini delivers dynamic performance and is great fun to drive. • The particulate filter-equipped dCi 85 diesel engine provides an exceptional compromise between driving enjoyment and affordable running costs. Thanks to CO2 emissions of just 100g/km, Twingo Gordini dCi 85 will qualify for the French state's €500 'eco' subsidy when order books for this version open on January 2, 2011. Twingo Gordini combines chic and sporty styling, dynamic on-road performance and low CO2 emissions which permit it to qualify for the Renault eco² signature. Markets: France, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia.

ALPINE: A HISTORY OF MEN IX. ALPINE PRODUCTION IN FIGURES X. SOME TITLES WON BY ALPIN 1 Confidential C I. A RENAULT ‘FAMILY’ Jean Rédélé was the first-born son of Madeleine Prieur and Emile Rédélé, a Renault dealer based in Dieppe and a former mechanic of Ferenc Szisz – the first Renault Frères ‘factory driver’, winner of the Grand Prix de la Sarthe in 1906 at Le Mans and runner-up in the Grand Prix de l'A.C.F. in Dieppe in 1907. Louis Renault himself had hired Emile Rédélé right at the beginning of the 20th Century. At the end of the First World War, at the request of Louis Renault, the young Emile Rédélé settled in Dieppe and opened a Renault dealership there in rue Thiers. Two years later, Jean-Emile- Amédée Rédélé was born on May 17, 1922. After completing his studies in Normandy, Jean Rédélé took his Baccalauréat exam during the Second World War and came into contact with people as diverse as Antoine Blondin, Gérard Philipe and Edmond de Rothschild. He chose to be a sub-prefect before settling on a career direction and enrolling at the H.E.C.

  • Historic Challenge Legend Returns to Road!
    AutoGiro d’Italia – Historic Challenge Legend returns to road! Regularity rallies are one of the great italian racing traditions which deserve to be taken back into play. Autogiro d’Italia is to be considered from 2019 a fixed date in the Historical Challenges calendar. A time – speed – distance race where participants need to comply with a schedule and a road map or just a tourist raid, these are both the spirit and the attitude with which drivers and teams shall be asked to face a series of stages over a five days event which will take contendants accross cities of art and culture with a true italian atmosphere. Autogiro d’Italia and its sister event Motogiro d’Italia, which has been organized by Moto Club Libero Liberati – P. Pileri for thirty years in a row now and which is a benchmark for classic bikes enthusiastics, will share the same programme . Both will take the start from and return to Rome. After the first stage which will drive participants from Rome to Roccaraso, drivers will face a challenging leg departing from and returning to Roccaraso. Third and fourth phases will take the competition to the coast at Montesilvano Marina, while a second to last stage will move on to Terni. Last stage will head drivers to Rome through the Flaminia way, one of Italy’s most well known consolar roads. Autogiro d’Italia brings back the great Italian tradition of regularity rallies which were held in our country since the very beginning of the XXth century. Legendary races where men and cars were the main characters of motor racing sports history which saw them speeding down between the crowd on roads which were usually open to general automobile traffic.

    uring the early Porsche days of the 1950s and ‘60s, Denise McCluggage Dand Ruth Levy were two of the more popular U.S. women sports car racers. In Eu- rope, Gilberte Thirion and Annie Bousquet are the two most recognized women racers during A Racing Lady this period. Similar in age, they began as close friends but apparently racing changed this. His- young and daring torians claim Annie’s fierce competitive nature caused her to not only lose a friend but to even- tually lose her life. Born Annie Schaffer in Vienna, Austria, her exact birth year is debated but apparently falls somewhere between 1921 and 1925. Annie’s French identity is the result of her marriage to Pierre Bousquet whom she first met while he was a POW in Austria during the war. After the Annie Bousquet marriage, the couple moved to France. Legend has it that Bousquet’s racing career began as the result of a 1952 ski trip. Having in- jured herself, she was recuperating in a Ses- triere, Italy hotel bar where she met Gigi Viloresi and Alberto Ascari. Annie was overwhelmed by their exciting racing escapades and a few months later she entered the Rally Sestriere. Some writers state that Bousquet raced with Al- berto Ascari but this seems highly unlikely. As- cari was the 1951 Formula One World Champion and was driving for Scuderia Ferrari at the time. So it seems very unlikely he would have teamed up with a neophyte woman. The records show Bousquet did enter two other races in 1952. The first was the July Alpine Rally where she drove a Renault 4CV but broke the gearbox in Col d’Izoard on the first leg.
