Renault has exceptional plans for this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, bringing six classic cars, four
Formula One cars from this year's season and three current offerings. It will also be showing off two brand-new concepts, one of them gasoline-powered and another that's purely electric, and it's possible that the ICE concept has been spotted in Madrid on a video shoot. If so, it would be appear to be a fresh take on the Eighties-era Renault 5 that would look very nice next to the 1984 Renault 5 Maxi that will be at Goodwood.
Some Spaniards with camera phones caught a little blue Renault hatchback with a number "5" on its flanks and a giant wing hanging off the back. Renault has to have expected someone to catch it in photos, not because it was working with a camera truck but because it was doing donuts in an intersection and spitting out a murderous exhaust note. It might actually have nothing to do with the Goodwood concepts, but the coincidence of a classic Renault 5 showing up in England does provide a potential connection.
Elsewhere in the stand from July 11 to 14 Renault will have a 1920 Renault Type K, a 1926 Renault 40CV, the first turbocharged F1 car, the 1978 RS01, the
Alpine that won
Le Mans in 1978 and a Groupe 5 Alpine A310 rally car, Kimi Räikkönen's
Australian F1 Grand Prix-winning
Lotus E21, the
Red Bull RB9,
Caterham CT03 and
Williams FW35. Among current offerings will be the
Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo EDC,
Captur crossover and all-electric
Zoe. Find out more about all of them in the two videos and the press release
below.
