20 cars that shocked the world

20. Renault Sport Spider (1996)​

This mid-1990s back-to-basics road/race mid-engined sports car with lightweight composite body and aluminium sub-structure was a sort of French Lotus Elise, and very different from the Clios Renault churned out by the million.
Spider owners did without roofs and in many cases windscreens – both of which you'd generally expect to get as standard in a Renault.
