Overview
Text originally from the Renault Sport website
Renault is restating its passion for motor sports with the Renault Sport R.S. 01, a racing car of spectacular styling and exceptional performance. With a design inspired by the world of concept cars and governed by an absolute pursuit of aerodynamic downforce, Renault Sport R.S. 01 is a radical expression of the brand’s sporting DNA. Its technical specifications reflect the best of Renault Sport expertise. With a carbon monocoque chassis for a weight of approximatively 1,120 kg and an engine developing 550 hp, it is able to reach a top speed of over 300 kph.
Asphalt 8: Airborne
The Renault Sport R.S. 01 was the third Class S car added in the Santa's Gift Update. It qualifies as a top-end Class S car, with a starting rank of 1516, a MAX rank of 1694, a MAX+PRO rank of 1798, and a Tuning Kit bonus of +37 rank points. The Renault Sport R.S. 01 rivals the Ferrari Enzo Ferrari, HTT Pléthore LC 750, W Motors Fenyr Supersport, TRION NEMESIS, Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid, Arash AF10, and Chevrolet 2016 Camaro SS.
The Renault Sport R.S. 01's acceleration is one of the car's main two downfalls; it only accelerates faster than the 2016 Camaro SS due to being lighter, but its low power output and weak nitro stat may contribute to its poor acceleration. However, the R.S. 01's top speed eclipses many other cars in the game except the HTT Pléthore LC 750, Chevrolet 2016 Camaro SS, BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage, and Devel Sixteen Prototype. In fact, just like the HTT Pléthore LC 750, the R.S. 01 excels at top speed. One major difference, though, is that the R.S. 01 has extreme handling and drifting, similar to the W Motors Fenyr Supersport, but worse in that the R.S. 01 will wreck more often. It is expected that skidding and random wrecks may occur more often than not, so it's recommended to set the steering sensitivity lower than normal. Despite this, the R.S. 01 can drift very well and is the best car for Gate Drift races.
The Renault Sport R.S. 01, unfortunately, is besieged by its biggest downfall: its poor nitro consumption combination of 9/14/19. Combined with its poor acceleration, the R.S. 01 faces problems on tracks where nitro consumption management matters.
In the long run, the Renault Sport R.S. 01 is nothing but a collector's item as it's useless in events and multiplayer, especially with its awful acceleration.
Up to the Rio Update, the Renault Sport R.S. 01 was priced at 3,850,000 for purchase and 2,932,750 for maxing out. Since the Autumn 2016 Update, it now costs 3,500,000 or 16,625 to purchase. It requires 64 V6 Engine cards for its Pro Kits.
