Renault Sport teases new race car

It's our first 'sketchy' look at the new Renault Sport Trophy concept. This Trophy show car will be officially presented to the media and the public at the 2014 Moscow International Automobile Salon (MIAS) which will run from August 27 to September 7. With this brand new car, Renault is set to present a unique vehicle which is designed solely for this competition.

Currently, the brand is conducting an intense programme of development tests, with the car joining the World Series by Renault in 2015. The World Series has been uncovering champion drivers for the last decade, but the news here is that it will welcome a new category next year.

The company has also disclosed that the specifications of the car are a reflection of its racing pedigree. Built by Dallara, the carbon monocoque will be powered by a Nismo engine delivering more than 500PS of power. The seven-speed sequential gearbox will be supplied by Sadev, while Michelin will develop a specific tyre for the package, which will have a weight of the order of 1,100kg.

We will have to wait until August 27 to get our first sight of the Renault Sport Trophy concept in all its glory.
