Well, it's a fun sports car, like the Elise. And if even if they don't compete performance-wise, the Elise took a lot of attention away from other fun sports cars.

I would take one without the windshield over the Elise any day. :D

As far as it competing with Lotus, I'd imagine it would compete with the 340R before I'd think the Elise

From what I could tell from reviews, the Spider was heavily outshined by the first Lotus Elise, which was released around the same time. (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.

But Mustang is still a mainstream car. :p

The '32 ford would have been better if it had some REAL purpose other than a hot rod.

Volvo is a resonae answer.

Spykers are fine, but the whole point I that we need uncommon cars that aren't extreme hypercars.

The sad truth of it is, that if it isnt mainstream it's worthless to game devs.

Even just Roadsters alone could full up a book. Renault Spider, Rinspeeds (the car. Not the admin. :p ), 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?

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.

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.

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.

Probably because every game developer is only interested in using manstream R34s and P1s to appeal to snobby 5 year olds. Which means we miss out on wild rides like this. :(

Something needs to be changed:
1. Chimarea to Cerbera
2. Coupe to Convertible
Since it have Chimarea on plate, it needs to be changed as convertible (looks like it have hardtop), because Chimarea is cabrio only
