Present at the Renault stand, to launch the concepts Dezir and Zoe, Laurens van den Acker, the man who promises to revolutionize the design of French car manufacturer, spoke briefly about the direction of the Hexagon brand.

The Renault design chief said the new concept Zoe, unveiled in Paris, will be the base of a new electric model, which will not be confused with the new generation of the best-selling Clio. "Zoe and Clio can coexist in the Renault range like two individual models, with no danger of cannibalization."

The series version of Zoe will take 90% of the appearance of the concept and will have a different approach from that of Clio. However, "the front of the new Zoe Preview will be strong enough contoured to create a connection with the Clio, which means that we can expect similarities" said van den Acker.

Referring to the same future Clio, the French designer said that the model is very important to Renault: "The team that worked on developing the concept Dezire is working now at Clio. If placed side by side in the studio, the two creations betray important similarities. Clio will have an a sportive and exotic allure as Dezir, but its look will take a number of key elements" said the chief designer of Renault.

Laurens van den Acker’s arrival at the Renault’s design department, will change the philosophy of the models currently produced by the French car manufacturer. The next year, Van den Acker wants to present to the public a more aggressive Twingo, that will benefit from a well-deserved facelift. The small urban model will receive the influence of the designer that will try to revive the sales and to address new European markets.

The new Twingo will be launched in the Auto Motor Show in Geneva, and will be followed by the Megane model that will receive a some aesthetic revisions at the end of the next year.

The interior is at the highest standards, the passengers will be allowed a three-zone air-conditioning system, a package signed Bose audio system and even an ionization system of the air. Although there are no information about the engines that will power the new model, Renault promises that Latitude will have "a range of engines which will certainly underline the advantage of the new model before its rivals".

The launch of the new model will be made at the Auto Motor Show in Moscow, and the European public will be able to admire the new model at the Auto Motor Show in Paris in September.

This new 4-wheeled baby runs on a 2.0-liter 16-valve turbo four delivering 250-hp. That’s way better than the 230 horsies dragging the old R26.R.

The RS will be available in Sport and Cup chassis versions featuring some esthetic cues from the Trophy racer concept along with center-exit exhaust and front grille splitter.

As you can see from the picture below the car looks very aggressive and that’s not bad at all considering the French revolutionary spirit.
