About the Renault 12 Gordini Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast reproduces the 1971 Renault 12 Gordini, with opening doors and hood over a zinc alloy body. The Gordini name links this everyday sedan to Renault's long motorsport heritage, applied here to a genuinely capable rally-adjacent variant.
Before the Clio and Megane carried the Gordini badge, Renault applied it to the 12, turning a practical family sedan into a genuinely engaging performance variant with real rallying credibility in period competition.
Opening Panels on an Early Gordini Sedan
This casting includes functioning doors and hood, giving access to a cabin styled for the era's straightforward but purposeful performance-sedan approach. Zinc alloy construction gives the model genuine weight, and Norev's diecast tooling holds the 12's simple, boxy 1970s lines with clean panel definition around the opening seams. The livery, typically blue with white Gordini striping, carries an even, period-correct depth, and the stripe application reads with the crisp precision this kind of historically significant badge deserves.
An Early Chapter for Gordini Collectors
For collectors tracing the Gordini badge across Renault's history, the 12 represents an earlier and less commonly replicated chapter than the more famous Clio or Megane Gordini editions, making it a genuinely useful addition for anyone building a complete generational display. At around 22-23cm, it holds a compact 1970s sedan footprint, and displaying it beside a modern Clio RS Gordini traces the badge's evolution from practical family sedan to dedicated hot hatch across five decades.
