From 1971 to 1979, Renault built the coupé models 15 and 17. With its unconventional shape and many borrowings from the Group's modular system, the four-seater won the hearts of many Francophile sports car fans on a tight budget. The entry-level model produced just 60 hp, but hardly looked any less sporty than the 108 hp Gordini top version. What does it look like some 40 years later? Can the 1.3-liter coupé still impress? This driving report portrays a Renault 15 GTL and tells the story of the extravagant coupé, illustrated with current and historical pictures.
