There will be two different sports cars that will result from the collaboration, one for Renault and one for Caterham. The car is aiming at providing a lightweight, nimble package, much like the Mazda MX-5. Rumor has it that the car will make around 250 hp, and cost less than $80,500 (£50,000).
Renault has already built a concept version (seen above) of the car, though the concept got its power from a mid-mounted 3.5-liter V6 with 400-hp and 311 lb-ft of torque.
