Renault Sport R.S. 01 Launch Control

Renault Sport R.S. 01 Launch Control
It has a Nissan GT-R engine and a Dallara-built carbon-fiber tub, and—if you have $400,000 sitting around—you can buy one and enter what’s likely to be a spectacular bangs-and-bumps pro-am championship racing series. Meet the Renault R.S. 01.

Yes, that’s right, Renault. Despite the brand’s complete irrelevance in North America, France’s second-biggest carmaker still gets plenty of promotional bang out of racing activities elsewhere on the planet, with its World Series by Renault encompassing multiple racing series in Europe. The R.S. 01, which was unveiled at last month’s Moscow auto show and is named in honor of Renault’s turbocharged Formula 1 car from 1977, will be the star of a new WSR single-make race series next year called the Renault Sport Trophy.
