Renault Puts On It’s Best Clothes With The Renault Trezor Concept
Auto News
This is the Renault Trezor concept. With it’s wrap around windowscreen creating a semi floating roof effect, set in desolate countryside that only drug dealers and serial killers would use, the Trezor concept is just that… a concept. As we always say concepts are rarely turned into production volumes due to a number of factors, the main one being cost and making a return on a limited edition production run. That said automotive concepts still have a purpose, to showcase advanced technology to stunning effect and also to allow the design stylists to let their imaginations flow. And the Renault Trezor does all that and more. renault-trezor-side The body is entirely forged from carbon-fibre and the method of propulsion is borrowed directly from Renault’s current Formula E race car. That is to say the fully electric engine develops 350bhp and 380Nm of torque and can dah from 0-60mph in a useful 4.5 seconds. renault-trezor-profile But don’t expect the Trezor to weigh the same as a Formula E car, it actually weighs a lardy 1,600kg, which is quite excessive for a two seat sports coupe. But Trezor is a concept car and it needs a to have a party piece, it does. The roof and bonnet are made from one piece and must be lifted to allow for access into the drivers cockpit. It’s a roof door so to speak. renault-trezor-cockpit The Trezor also features a fully autonomous driving mode but Renault say this technology won’t be fully ready on road cars until around 2020. renault-trezor-rear The Trezor’s cockpit features a dash made from ‘Gorilla Glass’ with a subtly curved OLED panel, OLED offers lower power consumption, increased brightness/colour/contrast and are just superior in every way the current LED-LCD screens. But don’t expect the Trezor ever to be made available for public consumption, concept cars are designed purely for marketing and publicity stunts. Maybe just maybe a small element of the Trezor will filter down to the next Renault Crap Special Edition.  renault-trezor-menace
