Renault UK Launches Gordini Versions of Wind Roadster, Slashes Prices of Base Models


The UK market is welcoming the launch of the third Gordini-badged model after the respective versions of the Twingo RS and Clio RS, this time in Wind roadster guise, with buyers having a choice of two engines, the 1.2-liter TCE 100HP and the 1.6-liter 133HP.
In addition to the Wind Gordini models, the French firm also slashed the list price of the Dynamique and GT Line trim levels by up to £2,215, with prices now starting at £12,995, instead of £15,205.

The new Wind Gordini is available in the firm’s trademark Malta Blue metallic paint with twin white Gordini stripes, while Pearl Black and Glacier White are no cost options. Other special exterior touches include white door mirrors, grille trim and cowls, and 17-inch alloy wheels with a polished face and gloss black inserts. Inside, there are Gordini blue and dark grey leather seats with embossed Gordini logo, numbered Gordini plaque (1-200), satin chrome effect gearknob with blue Gordini badge and blue gearstick surround.
Standard equipment features include Bluetooth connectivity, climate control, multi-functional TunePoint for USB connections and Thatcham category 1 alarm.
Renault also offers three key options such as the Renaultsport exhaust for £450 (1.6 only), 17-inch Gordini alloy wheels with polished face and blue inserts, plus a wind deflector for £200.
