Some manufacturers used to be bolder in recent years than they are today. One of them is Renault. Once they have been known for wild vehicles like the mid-engined Renault 5 Turbo and even revived this concept decades later with the Clio V6 Sport. In the meantime there was the hitherto most unusual and most radical production car in their history. It was called the Sport Spider, was presented in 1995, while the production started a year later. Originally, the car was developed as Alpine A710 to keep the small French sports car company alive. However, the board of Renault decided to pull the plug at Alpine after the A610 and instead use the fabrication in Dieppe for the in-house Motorsport department. Thus, the A710 became a Renault project and was also used for a racing offshoot. For the first time it got the ‘Renault Sport’ badge, which is used until today for really sporty cars of the brand.

As the French company already had good experiences with the Clio Cup as a one-make cup, another program item was added to the race weekends of this series: the Sport Spider Trophy, which was also part of the prelude of some Formula 1 weekends. The original version of the Sport Spider, which debuted at the 1995 Geneva Motor Show, was characterized by its sheer radicalism. Not only it got no comfort options, but also no roof and no windscreen. Instead, together with Nogarotech, an air diffuser in front of the passengers had been developed, effectively guiding the airflow over their heads. However, the passengers were urged to use integral helmets to protect against stones and insects. Access to the interior is provided by two scissor doors.<\/p>\n\n\n
