Renault Sport Trophy racing car (2014): first teaser photo

Renault Sport Trophy race car: 2014's new teaser photo By Tom Gregory First Official Pictures 19 June 2014 12:23 Renault has announced the 500bhp Renault Sport Trophy racing car, set to compete in a new one-make race series from 2015.

Adding to the racing pedigree is a 1,100kg weight, seven-speed sequential gearbox by Sadev and specially created Michelin tyres.
