November 17, 2010

This is a far more interesting car than the Tesla that currently holds the title for the most sporty electric car. The DeZir might only be a concept at the moment, but it is a cracking looking thing. In particular, it has the swooping bodywork that features on a number of other recent Renault concepts. [...]

Alonso To Ferrari?

September 29, 2009

Smartest move of the century? Probably yes. In the most recent rumours to hit the sport, there’s a suggestion that a certain Fernando Alonso will be donning the famous red and stepping into some nice new racing boots to take to the wheel of a Ferrari. For my money, he’d be stupid not to. As [...]

New Renault Megane Coupe

November 8, 2008

Considering some of the new concepts (as well as the new actual production cars) that have been rolling out from Renault recently, you’d be forgiven for thinking that they are entering into some kind of weird car renaissance.

The Renault Koleos – It’ll Grow On You

July 22, 2008

I must say, I was pleased to be at the launch of the Renault Koleos when I was up in Scotland.  However, I found the looks of the thing uninspiring, whilst the massive size and sheer bulk put me off.  I have now come around though, to believing that it has a certain Gallic charm [...]

Renault Laguna GT

April 28, 2008

GT cars are wonderful in theory. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, I’m referring to Grand Touring vehicles. These are the vehicles that should be able to move you across the countries of Europe with little problem, plenty of comfort and even more style. Alongside this, a GT car should be quick.
