Renault Sport R.S.01 '16

The Renault Sport R.S.01 '16 is a race car produced by Renault under Renault Sport. It appears in Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7.
It was built for the Renault Sport Trophy, a one-make racing series created and managed by Renault Sport which was held in 2015 and 2016.
==In-game description==
"A French race car with a Japanese heart."
Renault Sport is a group that has been making high-performance models based on Renault cars for many years now. The one-make race car revealed by this leader of French sports machines in the summer of 2014, was the R.S.01.
This purebred competition machine shows the deep partnership between Renault and Nissan. While the carbon monocoque chassis is co-developed between Renault and Dallara, the exterior was designed by a Japanese designer and the engine is a VR38DETT from the Nissan GT-R, tuned by Nismo.
The 4,710 mm long, 2,000 mm wide body only weighs 1,100 kg. This lightweight chassis is propelled by a 542 BHP V6 twin turbo. The expertise of Renault Sport has been applied to the aerodynamics and cooling for the car, so there are no doubts regarding its aptitude as a race car.
Renault Sport has also produced an offshoot version of this machine, the R.S.01 GT3. This is a machine modified to meet the FIA GT3 homologation, while maintaining the essence of the original R.S.01. There are elements of the conversion that actually tones down the car in terms of performance; carbon brake discs are changed to steel discs, and the engine power has been held down. However the GT3 category is now the most popular category of sports car racing; if it means that the R.S.01 will be seen more often on the track, it is a welcome change.
===Brand Central (GT7)===
This Renault Sport R.S.01 was a powerful mid-engine race car that was created to compete in a one-make race series. It was developed with Nissan, so it should come as no surprise that the twin-turbo V-6 in the car come from a Nissan GT-R. Thanks to the folks at NISMO, the engine produced 542.4 HP.

====Fabio Filippini====
The R.S.01Displayed in-game as "R.S. 01". is a true mid-engine competition car belonging to the GT category. Designed for the track, it is low, wide, and functional. Thanks to its dynamic and muscular forms, it is also extremely aggressive. The huge carbon rear wing is impressive, along with the front spoiler and the rear diffuser. That said, Renault desired to maintain a 'family feeling' in the front and rear... And so took up the style of the lights and grille of the production Mégane.

==Trivia==
*It is classified in Gr.X in GT Sport and as unclassified in GT7, due to the fact that it is a one-make machine.
**In pre-release builds of GT Sport, the one-make R.S.01 was going to be placed in N600 and the GT3 variant used a near duplicate of the one-make car's livery.
*If the prompt to remove the default livery is answered in Livery Editor, the rear brake reflector will also be removed.
* A GT Sport pre-release Scapes screenshot featured a typo of the Renault Sport website on the rear wing, which was later fixed.
