Renault

I’ve always wanted one of those concept sports cars that was lifted a bit and tricked out for rally racing. I think they’re some of the cooler looking vehicles out there, even if they’re not the most nimble on a paved track.

Renault has a little city car that it sells in Europe called the Twingo. The car reminds me a lot of the Fiat 500 in size and market position. Renault has something new to appeal to the ladies out there who drive a Twingo that will let them look good while keeping their cars scratch free.

Renault is one of those brands that makes cool cars that we never get here in the US. At the 2017 Geneva Motor Show the company had its press conference and unveiled its new line, and the little blue ZOE e-Sport Concept car sitting there with the F1 car looks awesome.

Renault has announced that its compact electric car, the ZOE will go up for ordering on October 1. The car now comes with an E 40 battery, and an NEDC driving range of 400km (~248 miles) per charge.

The last time I did a donut in a car was sometime back in high school, in my friend’s burnt orange Buick sedan. We ended up in a snow-covered parking lot, and my buddy Tom decided to pull off a few spins.

Renault’s Alpine division is looking to get power for its lineup from the open market, or perhaps from one of the firms that are involved in parent company Renault’s tech deal – Nissan or Daimler. While Nissan might not have any engines this side of the GT-R that are exciting, Daimler has some serious tech in the Mercedes-AMG side of things.

Renault is one of those brands we don’t get here in the States. It’s a shame, because they have some cool cars these days. Take the Renault Sport R.S. 01 race car for instance. In this video, the car is seen dressed up in police officer’s uniform.

Another of the car brands that folks in Europe can get hands on that we can’t here in the US is Renault. Most of their car’s are pretty boring, so we don’t lament that fact much.

Some of my favorite concept cars aren’t cars at all – they’re trucks. Case in point, the recently revealed Hyundai Santa Cruz, which melds modern crossover sensibilities with the utility of a small pickup. The design was so well received that Hyundai may put it into production.

British racing legend Sir Stirling Moss has found the perfect vehicle to fight the congestion in infamously trafficky London: the ultra-compact Renault Twizy, a car so the opposite of a racecar that 14-year-olds in France can drive it.

I happen to think one of the sexiest concept cars to be unveiled in recent memory is the Renault Alpine. That car looks fantastic with its blue and orange color and all the curves. Renault has made no secret of the fact that it wants to bring the Alpine brand back to Europe to compete with the Audi TT and Porsche Boxster.

It doesn’t matter what country you live in, all teens are ready to gain some freedom when it comes time to get a drivers license. In the states, you have to be at least 16 to get on the roads.

I often lament the fact that we don’t get some of the cooler cars that you see in Europe here in the States. Renault makes some cool cars, but those are off limits for America. Take this Renault Kadjar SUV that has been unveiled ahead of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.

You may recall earlier this month some images of what was thought to be a Renault concept car for the Gran Turismo 6 video game leaked. As it turns out that car has launched under the Alpine name, but it’s the same car we saw in those leaked photos before.

It seems Renault is poised to join the ranks of incredible supercar concepts available to drive in the virtual world of Gran Turismo 6, joining the likes of Mazda, Subaru, Chevrolet, and Aston Martin along with many others.
