Elia modified the Renault Wind with matching Lotus F1 Team colors

Elia Renault Wind


Despite that Lotus and Renault are now in separate ways since the end of 2011 Formula One season, Elia modified the Renault Wind roadster that featured, and while you're sitting down, Lotus F1 Team livery! While Elia doesn't explain about its specs, this modified Wind is dressed in the former Lotus Renault GP team livery all over the car and it comes with a sports exhaust system and some low-profile tires.

A little late for the party but it doesn't matter for this modified Renault Wind.

If Yui Hirasawa became a car, this would be the Renault Wind Gordini Gibson...

Renault Wind Gordini by Gibson


Most fans already familiar about the Gibson brand because of the Gibson Les Paul guitar. Some otakus are familiar because this is the brand of the guitar Yui Hirasawa used on K-ON (take note, the Gibson Les Paul).

If Yui Hirasawa became a car, this would be the Renault Wind Gordini Gibson...

Unveiled at the Rock En Seine music festival, Renault and Gibson collaborate to create a one-off special based on the Renault Wind Gordini.

Not only the Renault Wind Gordini by Gibson made its premiere, Gibson unveiled five 1961 SG guitars loaded with Gordini livery! One of these will be given away as part of the upcoming guitar solo competition.

Despite being a one-off special used in the Rock En Seine music festival, this Wind can go "un-tan, un-tan, un-tan" like Yui-Hirasawa from K-ON!

Renault Wind

Renault Wind


If you are an avid French car enthusiast and if you stumble across the newest compact roadster from Renault, called the Wind, you might have a ratio of 60:40 for stating that the Wind looks more of an successor of the sporty Renault Spider.

These chances can be proved wrong because the Renault Wind is not the successor of the super-sleek Renault Spider and it is the cabriolet version of the second-generation Renault Twingo compact. Look closely all over the Wind,the front was derived from the Twingo and the rear butt looks more of a shrunk Megane Coupe-Cabriolet. If looks can be deceiving, the Wind can open or close the top in 12 seconds. That is eight seconds quicker than the Lexus IS C.

For your information, the Renault Wind is a two-seater roadster accompanied with a decent-styled interior, which finds it not so bad in the eyes of a sports car aficionado. What really confuses me about the Wind is the strap that you can find it on the inside. It was like "wow, what was that for?" but you will find out when you get inside the Wind. If you are a music lover, there is good news, USB/iPod connectivity is available on the Wind to listen your recently downloaded songs while taking a spin on the French Riviera. It also has Bluetooth connectivity as well.

Two available engines are offered on the Renault Wind such as the 1.2-litre TCe 100 turbo engine and the 1.6L 16-Valve engine developed by RenaultSport Technologies. The TCe 100 engine variant has the power output of 100HP and torque output of 152Nm while the 1.6L 16-Valve engine delivers a high-performance 133HP of power and 160Nm of torque.

My thoughts about the Wind:
I can observe that the two-seater Wind has a bright potential to prove that this is better than the latest Megane Coupe Convertible. You can personalize the Wind any way you want with the choice of exterior colors and interior combinations to suit your styling preferences. Be warned, the Renault Wind is not the next Renault Sport Spider, this is the first of its kind in which its bright future would be over the future.
