Renaultsport Rs 01

See what would happen if the French police converted the GT-R-powered RS 01 racer into a highway pursuit vehicle in this video from Renault Sport.

Neither GT nor prototype, the Renaultsport RS 01 defies classification. So to see what it's all about, Evo took a few laps in the purpose-built racer at the Jerez circuit in Spain.

Renaultsport has changed tracks and developed the RS 01 spec racer for use in GT3 racing, but had to rein it in because it was too fast in testing at Paul Ricard this weekend.

After just a bit of teasing, Renault has finally unveiled its newest racer, the Renaultsport RS 01. Destined for one-make competition in the World Series by Renault, the RS 01 features a carbon-fiber monocoque body from Dallara that allows it to slip in at just 2,425 pounds.
