Renault R.S.16

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

i think it would look great if the top part of the nose and monocoque and sidepods would be yellow, including the rear wing.

Hello guys.
Been following this site almost everyday since the beginning of the new formula.

I just noticed a picture from instagram, that caught my eye, it has been removed again.

Is this the R.S. 16 in new livery, or just å cheat?

Not the RS16 that's for sure, but it does look rather like one the the Renault/Lotus showcars...

Quite a lot of correct little details like the OZ racing logos on the wheel and Infiniti badge on the airbox, could well be the new livery.

New nose on the Renault, reminds me of the one they used for a practice session in the 2014 Austin Grand Prix. There's also a new engine cover that looks a lot the Williams, nice touch with the gold too.

Also interesting to see how the tip of the nose is positioned further back than the pylons:

Nose look like crap.
FW however is very different from what we can see on other cars, but it looks dope.

Or they took a lot of liberty with the rendered images or Renault made a almost complete new car. Not just the nose but also the engine cover and the side pod intakes. Plus there is a lot of "stuff" going on at the roll hoop.

It wouldn't surprise me if the car we see on track the coming days is a yellow variant of the car we've seen in pre season testing and not this computer model.
