Renault and Gibson Join Forces To Create Special Edition Wind Roadster and Guitar

Here at autoevolution, we adore cool tie-ups that create a connection between the automotive world and other areas and this piece is dedicate to such a collaboration. Well... sort of.

You see, Gibson has joined forces with Renault to create special co-brnaded items. So farso good, but the only problem is that the car used for the partnership is the weakest link in the Gordini chain, the diminutive Renault Wind.

Anyway, we'll move on, in order to see what has resulted from the connection. Gibson now offers a special edition SG '61 guitar that features Gordini's livery - Gordini Blue with white stripes, while Renault has created a one-off Wind Gordini by Gibson, which has been gifted with Gibson logos and features a set of leather seats with sticthing that imitates guitar strings, as well as other special elements.

"The early 1960s saw Gordini and Gibson both revolutionise their respective worlds with the introduction of a sporting version of the Renault 8 for the former and the release of the SG electric guitar in the case of Gibson. The two brands have long been reputed for the accent they place on innovation and their open-minded approach to the future is founded on the same sense of freedom. The fact that Gibson and Gordini have joined forces for this project could but inspire Renault's designers..." a Gordini statement reads.
