Renault Sandero GT Line Presented in Brazil

French manufacturer Renault, one of the key players on the Brazilian automotive market, is trying to give a bit more appeal to its Dacia-based vehicles, by presenting at this year's Sao Paolo Auto Show more than one version of the Sandero models.

Last week, we gave you a taste of the Sandero Stepway Concept, a more visually striking version of the Stepway package sold with the Sandero. Today, it's time to take a quick peak at the Sandero GT Line, a sportier, more aggressive interpretation of the model.

Unlike the Stepway concept, this vehicle will enter production and will be sold in South America starting 2011. The model brings a touch of aggressive styling on the exterior and a more comprehensive troop under the hood.

Visually, the car has been made to stand out from the crowd with the help of a touch of white paint, combined with blackened headlights, black light alloy wheels and a few black graphics on the sides.

Under the hood, the model packs a four cylinder 1.6l engine, tweaked into developing 112 hp. Not much, some might say, but enough for perhaps the most successful low-cost model introduced in recent years.

Renault hopes it will sell this model well on the local market, with some 5 percent of all the Sanderos to be GT Line versions, according to Caradisiac. There has been no announcement yet about bringing the model to Europe as well, but the move might do more good than bad in the country of origin for instance, Romania, where the consumers are craving for a locally built GT car (even if not in the purest of forms).
