Fast Lane Classic Cars Inc. of St. Missouri now offers this unique Renault for sale. Though the model has traveled to France, Japan, Canada and now the United States, it is a remarkably low mile example of this rear-engine sports car. Of course, the sale will include all of the vehicle’s customs paperwork and importation documents.

Remarkably, this Renault has only covered 31,203 kilometers during its lifetime, which translates to approximately 19,388 miles. This sports car features a rear-mounted powerplant, which is a turbocharged 2.5-liter 5-speed V6 engine that made about 197 horsepower and 214 lb.-ft. of torque from the factory. The V6 pairs to a 5-speed manual transmission to drive the rear wheels. Last but not least, this model features a Borla muffler, but the stock one is also included with the vehicle’s purchase.
