Norev's 1:18 diecast Renault 17 Gordini Decouvrable in red reproduces the sporting, targa-roofed French coupe as a sealed, one-piece body, focused on its distinctive roof treatment and Gordini striping rather than opening panels. A genuinely uncommon subject for a French performance shelf.
About the Renault 17 Gordini Decouvrable Red Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Renault 17 Gordini Decouvrable in red is a sealed one-piece body reproducing the targa-roofed French sports coupe, capturing its distinctive roof treatment and Gordini striping rather than opening panels. Zinc alloy diecast weight. A genuinely uncommon French performance subject.
The Decouvrable's removable roof panels gave the 17 Gordini an open-air option most contemporary French coupes never offered, a genuinely distinctive engineering solution for the era.
Sealed-Body Diecast Construction on the 17 Gordini Decouvrable
This casting is diecast, built as a fixed body with no opening doors or bonnet, and that sealed construction lets the model concentrate on the Decouvrable's distinctive removable roof panels and the Gordini's bold striping. The roof section, the wide C-pillar and the sporting bonnet vents are all rendered as continuous, unbroken surfacing, and the red paintwork with Gordini livery detailing carries sharp, well-defined stripe edges rather than a soft, blurred transfer. Panel lines around what would be the doors sit as clean, defined grooves.
Why the 17 Gordini Deserves a Place on a French Shelf
Renault's Gordini-badged performance models rarely receive the recognition of their Peugeot or Citroen contemporaries, and the Decouvrable's roof treatment makes this particular variant genuinely distinctive even within the 17 range. On a shelf built around 1970s French performance coupes, it sits well alongside the related Renault 15 or Alpine A310. Because the body is sealed, judge the piece on its roof detailing and striping rather than expecting cabin access, and on those terms it rewards close inspection.
