Within this car there is nothing JDM by the classic definition of the term (products produced/for sale in Japan only), this car is all French. Its an OEM limited production model by Renault. Yet there is no denying the connection between this car and the tuning techniques often talked about on the blog and utilized by top tuning firms like Amuse, Top Secret and the like. One look at this car and you get the feeling of a quality tuned car deserving of the same instant respect that would be given to the latest creation from Japan’ s best.

All the usual suspects are there…The burnt titanium exhaust tips poking out the back, the dry carbon hood, the polycarbonate windows, the tasteful yet agressive graphics and color combinations.

If you gave a Renault to ASM, this is perhaps what Kanayama-san would build you (if you gave him enough money to do it right).

Rather than me give you the specs, here’s the real story on it (along with more pics):
