Renault Twin'Z Concept

The Renault Twin'Z Concept is an electric concept car made by Renault in 2013 and shown that year at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. It was conceived by the French designer Laurens van den Acker and the English designer Ross Lovegrove. A rear-mounted electric motor delivers 68 hp (50 kW) and 226 Nm, with a top speed of 130 km/h, a stated range of 160 km from four lithium-ion batteries and rear-wheel drive; the declared weight is 980 kg. The prototype was meant to preview some styling and technical elements of the next generation of the Twingo, which debuted a year later. Carbon fibre was used widely for the body, and the matt blue paint recalls the colour used by the French artist Yves Klein. The interior, entered through wardrobe-style doors, has no centre pillar, and the rear is marked by a multitude of LEDs.
