==In-game description==
"Renault's special GT3 machine with Nismo power."
The Renault Sport R.S.01 is a special one-make race machine produced in small quantities for the 'World Series by Renault', hosted by Renault Sport. It was introduced from the 2015 season as the successor to the Mégane Trophy.
The body utilises a carbon monocoque developed together with Dallara, the Italian racing car constructor. The vehicle weight is held down to under 1,100 kg. The engine is a midship mounted Nissan GT-R 3.8L V6 twin turbo tuned by NISMO, Nissan's motorsport department. With an output of over 493 BHP and over 61.2 kgfm of maximum torque, and combined with an SADEV 7 speed sequential transmission, the car can hit speeds of over 300 km/h.
Based on this R.S.01, the Renault Sport R.S.01 GT3 was developed for entry in the FIA-GT Championships, and was announced at the French Paul Ricard circuit in November 2015. The R.S.01 GT3 had to be toned down in order to meet the GT3 regulations of the FIA; a restrictor was added to the V6 twin turbo engine to bring down the power, and the brakes were changed from carbon ceramic to steel discs. To meet the minimum weight specified by the FIA, over 50 kg of ballast weight needed to be added, and the aerodynamics were also revised. However, because the base car was designed as an exceptionally high performance machine, it is a car that has lots of room to spare in terms of performance when taking on challenges.
===Dealership (GT7)===
This race version of the Renault Sport R.S.01 was tuned to conform to FIA GT3 regulations. Because the production car was developed for track use, it didn't take much to make this car a potent GT3 machine. After beginning life in a one-make series,Renault Sport Trophy the R.S.01 now competes in GT races all over the world.

==Trivia==
* In pre-release builds of GT Sport, the car used a duplicate of the one-make car's livery, with a different number box placement. The livery used in the final version of the game (as well as the non-variation scheme in GT7) is the livery used during the car's homologation testing at Paul Ricard in 2016.
** An alternate livery featured in GT7 is inspired by Renault's F1 cars from 2018-2020, more specifically the car used during Pirelli Hot Lap sessions during the 2018 Monaco and Brazilian Grand Prix weekends.Renault F1 Team RS01 F1 Hot Laps Livery on Sean Bull's Behance page
* If the prompt to remove the default livery is answered in Livery Editor, the rear brake reflector would also be removed.
* As the R.S.01 did not have a road-going model, it can only compete in events allowing non-homologated GT3 cars, such as the French GT Championship's Open class, International GT Open, or VLN's SP-X class.
