Speedevil 2016-10-23 03:11	But it wasn't meant to compete with the Elise. As I said, it wasn't made for performance but for sensations. And since it doesn't even have a windshield (well, originally), it is probably funnier to drive than the Elise, even if it's obviously slower and heavier.

(As was the Caterham 21 which might be even less known than the Renault). Some issues were its weight compared to the Elise, stock tires, lack of a decent roof and the gearbox. There was also a speedometer taken from the Twingo.

Renault Spider, Rinspeeds (the car. Not the admin. ), That one Lotus concept from a while back, Opel Speedster, etc... Not really. They all need to have a lot of popular cars, but there are pretty often unexpected cars in racing games. Look at NFS 2015 with its 3rd gen Mustang, its '32 Ford and its Volvo 242, or even The Crew's C8 Aileron. How often do you see a Spyker in an arcade racing game?
Speedevil 2016-10-22 19:15	Yep, I wanted to check on Renault's site but they don't have a model history anymore. I guess they figured people who are interested by that already know better.
Automotive Gaming 2016-10-22 18:27	Explained here in the comments: www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=5207 And btw, why this one should be a bad car? Uncommon car = bad car? I don't get the logic. There are plenty of great cars which are uncommon in videogames.
Speedevil 2016-10-22 16:47	I can't find any official source, but people tend to put Renault Sport instead of Renault all the time while it isn't even a real brand. The French Wikipedia page calls it a Renault Spider, but the English page calls it a Renault Sport Spider. Also, they're all listed as Renault Spiders here. It isn't a bad car in any way. It was made for sensations rather than performance, but it's still faster than the Clio Williams which nobody ever say is a bad car. -- Last edit: 2016-10-22 16:53:49
Desscythe17 2016-10-22 15:39	Isn't Renault Sport Spider the correct name?
Aginnon 2016-10-22 14:55	Yeah, that.
SAJMON14 2016-10-22 10:55	Maybe because it isn't a good car?
Aginnon 2016-10-22 10:20	Why won't we have this in other games?
