Renault Sport R.S. 01
The Renault Sport R.S. 01 is a race car manufactured by Renault and is based on the DeZir. The car originally raced in Renault's own one-make series, the Renault Sport Trophy, and later raced in the Group GT3 classification.
Unlike the DeZir, the R.S. 01 has a petrol engine. It uses the 3.8-liter VR38DETT V6 by Nissan but has been slightly tuned by Nismo for track regulations, which can deliver up to 500 hp (373 kW; 507 PS) of power. [3] [4]
Alpine A110-50
The Alpine A110-50 is a concept car manufactured by Renault, and although not based on it, has similarities to the DeZir. The car was built to commemorate 50 years of the original A110 from 1962. The Alpine was used as Renault's first-ever rally car. After 1973, production stopped altogether, the A110-50 was built to again be used as a rally car and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Alpine.
Like the R.S. 01, the A110-50 does not use an electric motor, but a petrol engine. It uses a 335 hp (250 kW; 340 PS) variation of the Mégane's 3.5-liter Nissan VQ-based V6.
