That roof just screams
"s
t we forgot the roof, someone run fo halfords and buy a tent, roofbars and some glue!!!"
no roof bars, no glue, simply fits on the cover studs, over the roll bar and clips into a grove in the windscreen frame. Does its job really and folds away relativly small."s

The weight is 950kg.....
My point was a tongue in cheek reference to my own car which has a solid roof with a removeable panel and weighs in at around 750kgs, a little under perhaps.
More importantly I can't see that the Renault has much more practicallity than a Se7en and then we are talking weights of 400kgs-odd, so really it IS heavy for what it is.....
Definately is heavy for what it is, but the chassis was deisigned for much more power... Renault (as ever) never really devloped the car to it's full potential. After all, can you imagine a Board of Directors approving for sale in the British Isles a car with no screen, no roof, no heater....
The screen was almost an afterthought, the roof definately was.
Renault had the chassis designed or built by a Dutch firm I think, who also were fabricating stuff for Lotus when developing the ELise. Renault were a bit pissed to find the Elise was so much lighter.
In Japan they have a race series for Ferrari engined Renault Spider cars. Legeay made a V6 twin turbo coupe for Le Mans....
Methinks another photo needs to be found...

I was fortunate enough to drive one of these back when my mate worked for the local Renault Dealer - they had one in as P/EX on a clio V6, it was yellow and grey with a windscreen - no heater though, it did had a roof but it wasn't on when I drove it - Not devastatingly quick from what I remember but certainly entertaining - Pretty Skittish on roundabouts - good power sliding fun at nice safe speeds too!
