Bringing a bit of “French Touch” to the Swiss venue, the new Renault Wind Gordini has debuted in Geneva today. This new version of Wind Roadster will spearhead Renault’s coupe-roadster range from this summer (in certain markets).

The Metallic Malta Blue bodywork with famous white Gordini stripes (and other elements including the grille, exterior mirrors and elements of the rear wing) will be joined by other versions, such Mettalic Pearlescent Black and Non-Metallic Glacier White. Cars finished in Glacier White feature stripes and decorative flourishes in anthracite.

The Wind Roadster Gordini is fitted with 17-inch black diamond-effect wheels, a gloss black roof and, on each flank, a circular badge bearing the famous letter ‘G’.

Interior highlights include blue and black leather upholstery, a leather-trimmed steering wheel highlighted with two white stripes at the top, aluminium pedals and a gear lever with a blue leather gaiter and a metal knob bearing the Gordini logo. These are accompanied by the Gordini-embossed door sills, blue, braided floor mats and blue and white door trims.

Consumers will get the chance to enjoy a wide variety of standard features, including automatic climate control, a 2x35W radio-CD with Bluetooth and Plug&Music connectivity, fingertip remote control, voice recognition and audio streaming (for wireless music access), heated seats, cruise control with speed limiter and ESC.

“Nine out of 10 customers opt for blue paint and only one per cent order cars without the famous white stripes,”
Renault explains. “With Gordini, Renault is broadening its scope by attracting a customer base that is both younger and more feminine. Gordini branding has enabled Twingo Renaultsport to gain five sales points in the 30-40 age group and two sales points among women.”
