Design brief conversation:
(designer) What would you like.
(Product chap) Well ideally we'd like an R8, but Audi already thought of that.
(designer) So, like an R8 but French?
(product chap) Yes. Oh, and paint it yellow.
(designed) Will do...
Agreed, pretty much every line bar the rear is the same.(designer) What would you like.

Looks like it has been designed by a GCSE Design student who picked up a few racing car brochures and then mocked it up on his home PC the night before his boss wanted the final product.
No doubt the handling will be immense, however. Renaultsport is easily the FWD equivalent of Porsche's RWD, these days.

First thought that crossed my mind after seeing the top pic was "R8". It may be (more than) a bit derivative, but that doesn't make it any less gorgeous.
Carbon tub, mid-mounted GT-R V6, RWD...
If any manufacturer has the balls to make this into a (street-legal) reality, it would be the nutters who mercifully graced us with these:
Do it, Reanaultsport!

i like the looks. apes the r8 and there's some cayman in the lines, but it works. nothing special or new but it works.
problem is that there's no renault design language in there. nothing off the wall or WTF.
if this is based on whatever chassis caterham and alpine cooked up prior to their parting of the ways, i only hope the former make it look a little more original whilst coming in MUCH cheaper!

McLaren MP4 GT is about £300k+vat, for a race car package is probably not far off.
