Gordini tuned Renault cars in the 1960s and the name will be making a comeback 40 years after and will be attached to the Twingo Renaultsport.

The badge does come with modificafications to the standard RS car. Outside, buyers can now opt for either metallic blue or black paint and racing stripes. Even the fog lamps get a white accents around them. The car also now sits atop 17-inch alloys with inner rims that match the paint job.

Inside, the car gets sports seats, a leather steering with option to match either the blue or black paint job, and a leather dash. To top it off, the gearknob is stamped with the Gordini badge.

The Gordini will be used for a series of Renault hot hatches pretty much like how Fiat uses Abarth to mark the souped up versions of their cars. A Clio Gordini is expected next year and a Megane Gordini is among talks.

Hot hatches have become really popular so a special badge would probably help Renault rival Fiat and its Abarth badge.
