With the advent of google it has become impossible to find a name for a new rock band. They have all been taken. The same holds true for new supercars.

I don't think he can spell it "Gordini" as Renault Sport owns that trademark.

I'm thinking it is Gordini from Renault. A new Gordini SUV body on an RGM built HST truck. Time will tell.

Great news. Just saw the Robby video prior to the Paris meeting. I thought that the Hummer's had run their course. So glad to see he had sold them. I suspect Robby is sharp enough to know what it takes - vehicle wise - to win. So it will be nice ot see exactly the vehicle he has come up with. Need to have someone like Robby to root for now a days (at least racing wise).

So, is he screwing with her and us? The one question I still have is there going to be a car manufacturer logo on the car?

Last year Robby announced that after Dakar he was going to race through stadiums with trophy trucks, and he did it. SST had a great first year.

This year, Robby announces that after Dakar there will be a 200 mph production version that you can jump as YOU please! Oh yes, and it will be a Gordini.

Did you catch that my friends in France, as I announce this in Paris, where the Renault is made.

This one WILL BE amazing!

I have no idea if Robby has hooked up with Renault or not, but you can bet he will be asked about using the name Gordini. Robby made no mistake here. He has not overlooked that Renault owns that name. Robby made it a point to announce the name. My money says Renault is on board somehow.

I'm all for it. I'm a believer in international business, but when it comes right down to it, it's not always easy. This is going to be interesting.
