The Renault Argos was an open-top two-seater concept car that Renault first showed at the 1994 Paris Motor Show. Jean-Pierre Ploué designed it under the direction of Patrick Le Quément, and it was displayed purely as a design study with no performance figures issued. It was powered by the 1.2-litre, 1,239 cc four-cylinder engine of the Renault Twingo mated to an electronically controlled automatic transmission, and weighed only 750 kg, which is very light for an automobile. The structure was innovative, with doors that opened by sliding aft to nestle in the rear fenders, no superstructure, roof or even windscreen to interrupt the lines, and wing mirrors that retract into the front wings and deploy only when the engine is started.
