Gordini
Gordini is a French sports car manufacturer. The firm was founded by Amédée Gordini. His nickname was "Le Sorcier", which means "The Sorcerer".
Gordini competed in Formula One from 1950 to 1956.
Gordini worked with Renault as an engine tuner. He sold his firm to Renault. Renault entered Renault-Gordini cars at the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1962 until 1969.
Renault build sport versions of some models like the Dauphine, Renault 8, and Renault 12. They included the Gordini badge.
In November 2009, Renault announced that it will bring back the Gordini name. It will be used on a line of hot hatches (sports compacts).[1]
