===Performance (Up-to-date)===
The Renault Sport R.S. 01 has good acceleration, decent speed for its rank, good handling, decent drifting, and mediocre nitro efficiency.
Overall, the R.S. 01 cannot properly compete with the kings of Class S. The main reason for this is its lack of speed, which puts it at a severe disadvantage for the highest level of competitive play. The R.S. 01 only lacks 1 km/h in comparison to the McLaren Senna, for example (and as much as 1.8 km/h versus the Koenigsegg Jesko), but this seemingly small amount is enough to render the R.S. 01 a second-tier car within the high Class S rank bracket. The R.S. 01 also lacks nitro efficiency, especially in level 2, although its level 3 nitro efficiency is reasonably good.
The R.S. 01 has particularly good handling in certain aspects. The sensitivity is not as high as the McLaren 600LT's, and the precision is not as high as the Senna's. However, the R.S. 01's handling is notable for being very stable over rough terrain, similar to the Lamborghini Sian FKP 37's handling. Like the Sian, the R.S. 01 is particularly good at handling the curved dirt road on The Great Wall, for example, where many other cars, such as the Lamborghini Centenario, have a tendency to skid and fall out of bounds (or simply explode on the spot).
The R.S. 01's acceleration is slightly better than the Senna's (2.6s). The exact value has not been measured; it is perhaps around 2.57s.
=== Performance (Out-dated) ===
The Renault Sport R.S. 01 rivals the Ferrari Enzo Ferrari, HTT Pléthore LC 750, Zenvo TS1 GT 10th Anniversary Edition, TRION NEMESIS, Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid, Arash AF10, and Chevrolet 2016 Camaro SS.
The Renault Sport R.S. 01 has a similar performance map built on that of the HTT Pléthore LC 750, but with improved handling and a slightly larger nitro boost. It has a bias towards sharp and oversteer-prone handling, drifting, and raw top speed at the expense of every other nitro aspect, with only marginally faster acceleration than the Camaro SS and poor nitro efficiency. It has a maximum total speed of 312.5 mph/503.2 km/h at MAX+PRO with Tuning Kit, making it the 14th fastest vehicle in terms of total speed.
With its performance buff in the 2020 Summer Update, the Renault Sport R.S. 01 now has faster acceleration and a higher top speed. While it can compete with other cars in the same tier placement, it still suffers from its weak nitro efficiency.
===Usage===
With its speed/handling-biased performance, the Renault Sport R.S. 01 is not recommended for Multiplayer, regardless of the upgrade configuration used. In Events, though, it can dominate in a few brackets where it is the highest-ranking car, especially when handling is a priority. The same cannot be said in general Events, though, due to the affluence of the Aston Martin Vulcan, Apollo Intensa Emozione and 2018 McLaren X2. However, it is the most powerful Renault vehicle, and will be the best choice for Renault-exclusive events.
The Renault Sport R.S. 01 counts towards the Off the Charts collection.
