17 TL

STORY

Renault launched the R17 coupe in 1971 as the upmarket, sporty version of the 15, built on the R12 front-wheel-drive platform with the same fastback body. The fuel-injected R17 TS made 108 PS DIN. In 1974 the R17 TS was renamed the 17 Gordini after the 12 Gordini ended, and that year the 17 won the Press-on-Regardless round of the World Rally Championship. A second series with a new front end came in March 1976, and in 1979 production stopped, with the Fuego taking over.
