Renault returned to Grand Prix racing in 1977, having won the very first Grand Prix ever in 1906!
The comeback was built around a superb iron-block, belt driven, four-cam, V6 engine. Although their idea did not produce the hoped for Championship, it did win many races, and they did win on technology: for they led the way for all others to follow.
Our miniature replica, designed in grand 1:18 scale, is a thing of rare beauty. Special features include a removable cowling to showcase an unprecedented level of furious detail: fully wired and plumbed V6 Renault-Gordini engine, twin turbos coupled to accurate intercoolers, water and oil cooling radiators in photo-etch, fully detailed cockpit with suede-like covered seat, all aluminum tub, pipes, hydraulic hoses, wires, and much more.
