Not very flattering though, they must have been elderado fans....Velour...not always
55 RENAULT APLINE A610
France’s plastic-bodied answer to the Porsche 911 is simply too quirky for most tastes. The tacky interior and velour trim didn’t do much for sporting ambience when it was new and seem naffer still today. The striking styling and beefcake performance have aged more gracefully, though, but the heavy rear engine means fairly raw 911-esque handling traits and either a big dose of skill or caution in the wet. Get it right, though, and it’s a characterful and utterly absorbing drive.
