R8 Gordini '66

This high-performance version of the Renault 8 was tuned by Amédée Gordini, known as "The Sorcerer" for his remarkable engine tuning. Building on the strengths of the original 1108 cc compact sedan, Gordini transformed the modest Renault 8 into a formidable touring machine, blending precision engineering with motorsport spirit. In 1966, the engine was enlarged to 1300 cc and paired with a 5-speed transmission, further unlocking its performance potential. With its distinctive character and motorsport pedigree, this automotive gem holds a cherished place in the hearts of enthusiasts to this day.

Amédée Gordini was a legendary tuner of Renault and Simca cars...Gordini was a hard-working Frenchman who went on to become an F1 race car constructor – basically, a genius. For many years, Gordini partnered with Renault to produce performance versions of the company's mass-market cars. The Renault 8 Gordini is one such example and probably the most popular of the official collaborations. The fact that it's near twice as powerful as the base model just goes to show what a genius tuner Gordini really was. The classic blue-paint-with-white-stripes, V-shaped bonnet and boxy styling still has legions of fans to this day!

The Renault R8 Gordini '66 can be acquired from the Legend Cars dealer. It was last added on December 5, 2025 for Cr. 32,500.
