Default The most insane .... Renault ever

Yesterday we had the new Citroen concept car reveiled and now it's Renault's turn. Should we expect to see a concept revieled from Peugeot tomorrow? lol


Renault Nepta





Renault today unveiled the Nepta concept car, a four-seater cabriolet with a very unique door system. The entire sides of the car can lift in a gullwing-like fashion to provide access to the front and rear seats. A 420 horsepower V6 powerplant means the car is more than just a pretty convertible. The car is capable of accelerating to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds, according to Renault. It also features LED headlights and taillights, carbon bodywork, anti-roll bars, digital and analog instruments, Michelin's latest prototype tires, advanced air turbulence deflectors, and DVD screens. The car will be on display later this month at the Paris Motor Show.
More Pics & Vid


Not one of my favorite concepts but I do like some of the details like the mirrors and the headlights & tail lights.

Completely Utterly Impratical........I think they should double quote the word "unique".
