2012 Sao Paulo Motor Show: somehow the classics are just cooler
The best car at the Brazilian show wasn't a new one

With apologies to my hosts, I'm afraid the coolest car at the Sao Paulo Motor Show wasn't on the Volkswagen stand. It was on Renault's.
Whether it makes up for the travesty that is the "new" Renault Clio, I'm not sure. But this awesome looking bit of kit is an Interlagos – a Brazilian built version of the legendary Alpine A110.
Bird Clemente is a celebrated Brazilian racing driver – quite possibly the country's first professional (if an electronically translated version of his Wikipedia page is to be believed). His website is here, if you fancy trying to decipher it for me.
Anyways. What a car. An although Volkswagen's SP1 from the Group Media Night might run it close for looks, I'm pretty sure which of these rear-engined beasts would be better sorted to drive...
