What with the lock down, it occurs to me that if someone wanted to recreate Lelouche’s classic, right now would be the time to do it

Just wrong, does nothing to improve it, why would you do all that work?

To quote: In the spring of 1963, Renault decided to create a sports version of the Renault 8, the specifications of which could be summed up in two main aspects: maximum speed of at least 155 km / h and minimum additional cost. The model presented is the prototype produced by François Landon's teams, to which the version developed by Amédée Gordini will be preferred.
The realization of this project is entrusted to two teams who will work in parallel: on the one hand, Gordini who has so successfully achieved the improved version of the Dauphine and, on the other hand, the Renault Competition Service led by François Landon.
A first comparative test took place in Montlhéry in October 1963: identical top speed of 152 km / h measured on the ring and equivalent time on the road circuit in 5 minutes and a few seconds. A month later, during a second comparison, the two cars reached 160 km / h. But Gordini came with a little surprise: a Renault 8 whose engine with a hemispherical cylinder head and powered by two horizontal double-barrel carburetors is given for 87 hp SAE. During the first ring turns, and despite its increased power, this car did not do any better than the other two ... until Amédée Gordini had the idea of removing the rear cover. The verdict on the clock is immediate: 172 km / h! The Renault 8 Gordini is born!
Engine: 4 cylinders 1108 cc, 50 hp SAE at 4900 rpm
Transmission: rear wheels, 4-speed gearbox + MA
Brakes: discs on all 4 wheels
Dimensions (L x W): 3.995 x 1.49 m
