Renault teams up with Gibson for special edition guitar and Wind Roadster

Filed under: Concept Cars, Convertible, Renault



Imagine the car that most accurately approximates the spirit of rock music. A Dodge Challenger with a Hemi under the hood? A Ford F-150? Maybe an old Lincoln? How about a Renault Wind? Well, maybe not, but the French automaker is, at least, the one that has teamed up with Gibson for a pair of unique creations.

The partnership includes, first of all, a special-edition Gibson SG '61 guitar with decked out in Gordni blue with white stripes and Gordini nameplate. The collaboration has also extended to a unique Renault Wind Gordini by Gibson show car that features the same paint scheme as the guitar (and other Gordini models) but with Gibson logos and guitar strings woven right into the leather seats. Even the audio system has Gibson guitar knobs for controls.

This isn't the first time that cars and guitars have teamed up on these pages, what with the Fender sound systems on new Volkswagens and the Blackbird carbon fiber acoustic guitar made for Ferrari. Whether it's a worthwhile use of the Gibson name, however, is a matter of perspective.
