The original model: a concentrate of technology
Launched in 2014, the Renault RS 01 represents the culmination of Renault Sport's research in the field of motorsport. This vehicle, exclusively intended for circuits, was developed to equip the Renault Sport Trophy, an exceptional one-make championship. Its design is rooted in the expertise gained in Formula 1 and endurance, transposed into an accessible GT format for high-level amateur drivers.
Technically, the RS 01 features a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine producing over 500 horsepower, borrowed from the Nissan GT-R but fully reconfigured by Renault Sport. Its carbon fiber chassis, sophisticated aerodynamic appendages, and sequential transmission make it a true racing car, capable of remarkable performance on all European circuits.
The success of this model with gentleman drivers confirmed the relevance of Renault Sport's strategy, paving the way for future developments in the segment of exclusive sports cars.
Renault Sport: French excellence in competition
In 2014, at the creation of the RS 01, Renault Sport already had a solid reputation in the world of motorsport. The sports division of the diamond brand relied on decades of experience in Formula 1, where it had won numerous constructors' and drivers' titles. This technical expertise was also showcased through iconic road models like the Clio RS and Mégane RS.
The history of Renault in competition dates back to the very origins of the automobile, with the Renault brothers participating in the first races in the early 20th century. This passion for performance has been passed down through generations, culminating in Formula 1 successes in the 1990s and 2000s. The French brand has managed to preserve its identity while incorporating the most advanced technologies, creating a recognizable signature on circuits around the world.
Today, the legacy of Renault Sport continues to grow, with the RS 01 constituting an essential link in this chain of innovation and technical excellence that characterizes the French approach to motorsport.
A notable anecdote: the birth of a dream
The story of the Renault RS 01 begins with a bold bet from Patrice Ratti, then director of Renault Sport. In 2013, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, he discovers the growing enthusiasm for high-end one-make championships. Inspired by the success of the Ferrari Challenge and Lamborghini Super Trofeo series, he decides to launch a similar project at Renault but with a distinctly French approach.
The development of the RS 01 takes place in utmost secrecy at the workshops of Viry-Châtillon, the historical cradle of Renault Formula 1 engines. The engineers have a substantial budget and complete freedom to create a car without compromise. They draw on their F1 experience to design the aerodynamics, while the partnership with Nissan allows them access to the famous VR38 engine from the GT-R.
The first public presentation of the RS 01 takes place at the Paul Ricard Circuit in April 2014, in front of a handpicked audience. The emotion is palpable as test driver Denis Dupont takes the first laps. The sound of the twin-turbo V6 resonates in the Provençal mistral, symbolically marking the return of Renault to the world of supercars. This day is etched in the memory of witnesses as the birth of an exceptional lineage.
Even today, RS 01 owners remember this presentation as a historic moment, where the French passion for automobiles was expressed with rare intensity, proving that France could compete with the world's leading sports car manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
