With the upcoming Rock En Seine music festival in France, Gordini shook hands with Gibson to create a unique show car and equally unique “Gordini by Gibson” electric guitar. The leather seats of the Renault Wind-based "Gordini by Gibson" show car incorporate real guitar strings, in addition to a host of other rocking details, according to Renault.
The Parisian public will be amazed, thanks to a display of the one-off Wind “Gordini by Gibson” show car and five striking Gibson SG ‘61 guitars in Gordini colors.
"We had tremendous fun designing the Wind-based 'Gordini by Gibson' show car and carrying Gordini's visual identity over to the Gibson SG '61 guitar. I hope that we succeed in conveying the passion that fired us throughout the project and that visitors to the Rock en Seine festival will like the result," Julia Macfarlane, colors and materials designer at Renault.
The early 1960’ caught both Gordini and Gibson at their climax when both were about to revolutionize their respective worlds with the introduction of a sporting version of the Renault 8 the former and the unveiling of the SG electric guitar in the case of Gibson.
The Wind “Gordini by Gibson” features a blue livery with two white stripes, which extend over the bonnet and the blue roof, hints of gloss black feature across the bodywork, while Gibson logos are visible on the doors. An original feature of the show car’s blue and white upholstery is the incorporation of genuine guitar strings which have been hand-sewn into the leather seats.
