Auto Express has reported on the latest from Renault – five models are going to be axed from the UK line up. These include the Laguna hatch, Sport Tourer, Coupe, Espace, Grand Espace, Modus, Grand Modus, Wind and Kangoo. This is not a quiet drop by a manufacturer of a car that isn’t selling. This […]
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. […]
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 […]
This year has been a tumultuous one for F1 – with more stories, scoops and changes than just about any other sport. It’s certainly living up to being the ‘pinnacle’ of motorsport, though some would argue for all the wrong reasons. Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds have both quit the Renault F1 team, following revelations […]
Will Renault quit F1 over the investigation into the Singapore Grand Prix last year? That’s the rumour doing the rounds and there’s no doubt that Flavio Briatore is a very influential, decisive and determined man who is not afraid of controversy.

Luckily this isn’t just a rehash of the (apparently amazing) R26, but is instead a whole new car. Both a Cup and a standard version will be available, with the former being kitted out with a limited slip diff to help in the corners. Improvements have been made to body stiffness and overall structural rigidity, […]
The future, according to Renault, is the electric car. The French firm are pinning their hopes on an electric vehicle along with a host of new models that will drag them out of the economic quagmire by 2011. Senior official Stephen Norman has made clear that whilst other projects may be on hold, the electric […]
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. This idea isn’t dispelled by the new Renault Megane Coupe which looks simply brilliant. Prices have been […]
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 […]
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. Really […]
