Renault Wind a Compact, Inventive, Fun to Drive PRESS RELEASE June 28, 2010 RENAULT WIND A COMPACT,INVENTIVE, FUN TO DRIVE COUPE-ROADSTER Renault Wind and its unique, electric, rotating-roof concept bring a breath of fresh air to the world of open-top motoring. “Renault Wind extends the brand’s range with a new model wholly dedicated to the pleasure of its occupants inviting them to enjoy an alternative way of driving. Through its concept and the technology it employs, Renault Wind is an ingenious illustration of Renault’s new brand signature, ‘Drive the Change’” Renault Wind targets customers looking for a compact everyday car and, as a two-seat coupé-roadster with a length of 3.83 meters, it slots into the Renault range between Twingo and Clio. Thanks to its ingenious, electrically-operated roof system, which pivots open in just 12 seconds, Renault Wind boasts unprecedented versatility: in the lowered position, the roof panel rests above the boot, meaning that boot volume is always 270 dm3 VDA, whether the roof is up or down. Renault Wind has head-turning looks. Its blue-tinged gaze, muscular profile and rear-end forms, give it an emphatically modern profile. Unique styling details include the roof-cover cowls, chrome exterior door mirror housings and badging on the side which recalls the rotational movement of the roof-opening mechanism. Meanwhile, there is an unmistakable ‘cockpit’ feel about the interior. The instruments are reminiscent of the world of motorbikes, the sport seats feature integrated head rests, while the low-set driving position and sporty layout of the controls are typical of roadsters. The expertise of Renault Sport Technologies (R.S.T) in the realm of motoring enjoyment needs no introduction, and Renault Wind has benefited extensively from the expertise of R.S.T’s engineers. The new coupé-roadster is built on the same platform as Clio 2 R.S., and its chassis is perfectly suited to the power outputs of the two engines that are available for the car, the TCe 100 and the 1.6 16V 133hp. One of the chief accomplishments of R.S.T’s engineers is the fact that they have achieved the best weight to body-rigidity ratio for a coupé-roadster, allowing Renault Wind owners to profit from an outstanding ride plus very low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Renault Wind takes full advantage of Renault's expertise in the fields of active and passive safety too, while the excellence of its chassis and its powerful brakes ensure exceptionally reassuring handling. Renault Wind will go on sale in July 2010 in the United Kingdom and Slovenia, and from September in its other western European markets. OPEN AND PLAY 01 05 A NEW, FUN TO DRIVE ADDITION TO THE RENAULT RANGE SAFETY 02 06 UNIQUE STYLING ACCESS TO A WORLD OF PLEASURE 03 07 A REVOLUTIONARY ROOF QUALITY AND PRODUCTION 04 08 RENAULT SPORT TECHNOLOGIES’ EXPERTISE FOR INTERVIEW WITH BEATRICE FOUCHER-SYBORD GREATER DRIVING PLEASURE (PRODUCT DIRECTOR) 01 A NEW, FUN TO DRIVE ADDITION TO THE RENAULT RANGE Renault Wind's length of 3.83 meters sees the newcomer slot between Twingo (3,60 m) and Clio (4,03 m), and marks the addition to the Renault range of a new, compact, coupé-roadster concept that is ideally suited to everyday motoring. FOR WHO? AND IN RESPONSE TO WHAT DEMAND? • an exceptionally practical car, with consistent boot space whether the top is up or down, Renault sees no reason why the freedom associated with wind-in-the- • compact dimensions and nimble handling ideally suited to driving in hair motoring should be the exclusive reserve of the higher-end seg- and around town, ments. On the con trary, there is an unmet demand in Europe for a small • fun, punchy dynamics combined with low fuel consumption, convertible that can serve as an everyday car, either for the driver alone • a low-set driving position and a sporty layout for the controls, or for a couple without children. Such customers are quite young • an outstanding equipment and specification package for its price. (or young at heart!), attracted by the sporty cues of coupés and road- sters and looking for eye-catching looks, as well as a model that is sufficiently practical to serve as an everyday car. RENAULT WIND: A COUPÉ-ROADSTER To meet this demand, it was necessary to produce a coupé-roadster w ith a unique, striking design and sporty looks, but without making any concessions with regard to the features that are seen to go hand-in- hand with the sense of true freedom: • a clever, robust, easy-to-use roof-opening mechanism that delivers genuine wind-in-the-hair thrills, 02 UNIQUE STYLING Renault Wind’s design is striking. Its blue-tinged gaze, muscular profile and rear-end forms give it an emphatically modern stance. HEAD-TURNING LOOKS Renault Wind is available in Glacier White (a non-metallic varnished fin- ish), as well as Majorelle Blue, Dyna Red, Altica Grey and Pearlescent When it comes to this type of car, exterior styling is the chief factor in Black (varnished metallics). the purchase decision. Therefore, to appeal to its market, Renault Wind’s design needed to be both dynamic and robust, as well as unmis- takably modern. Seen from the side, Renault Wind's sporty, robust lines, steeply-raked bonnet, high waistline, extensively sculpted flanks and integral roll hoop immediately strike the eye. The two roof-cover cowls located in the slipstream of the head rests are distinctive roadster features and form a natural link between the interi- or and exterior. Work on the windscreen header-rail, which sits in a far more forward position than that of rival convertibles, heightens the pleasure associat- ed with open-top motoring and further underpins Wind’s roadster credentials. The rear end incorporates a distinctive wing which forms part of the boot lid, while the boomerang-shaped rear lights provide a readily iden- tifiable lighting signature. INTERIOR DESIGN: A GENUINE COCKPIT There is an unmistakable ‘cockpit’ feel about Renault Wind's interior which has been designed to heighten the sense of motoring enjoyment through a host of sporty cues. These include sport seats with integrated head rests, full instrumentation set in profiled tunnels and a translucent instrument panel cowl (red or black) that recalls the world of motorbikes. The Dark Charcoal ambiance is set off by the door pulls, aluminium pedal cover s, sports steering wheel and a range of satin-finish chrome details that highlight Renault Wind’s unique coupé-roadster appeal and irresistibly tempt you to open the roof and head off for the country! Not only are the seats and integrated head rests comfortable but they also provide substantial side support. When fitted, the ‘Dark Charcoal’ or ‘Camel’ leather-upholstered seats are heated. 03 A REVOLUTIONARY ROOF When it comes to convertible car technology, Renault Wind’s roof breaks new ground. Owners of soft top cars are often anxious when their vehicle is parked outside, while folding hard tops can take up a disproportionate amount of boot space when lowered and are frequently restricted to larger cars. As a fast, easy and reliable means of lowering and raising the roof, and to avoid encroaching on valuable boot space when the top is down, a rotating mechanism stood out as the best solution. JUST 12 SECONDS TO LOWER THE TOP – A CLASS BEST! After pulling on a handle to release the roof lock, the driver simply has to press on the electric switch for the roof to pivot round its axis between the quarter panels before silently coming to rest on top of the boot covered by an additional panel. An audible warning and a message on the trip computer inform the driver once the operation has been completed. In addition to being a quick way to lower or raise the top, this ingenious rotat ing system employs very few parts, which further contributes to its reliability. The combined weight of the roof and its kinematics is a mere 21.8kg, which is a fifth of that of a conventional hard top. The interior of the roof is protected from dust and the elements in the 'open' position by a patented boot lid design, while the fixed rear win- dow actively contributes to Wind's structural rigidity. BOOT SPACE ON A PAR WITH CLIO Whether the top is up or down, the same generous, easily accessible 270 dm3 VDA of boot space means that Renault Wind owners can travel with baggage, yet still enjoy al fresco motoring at will. Opening and shutting the boot requires no more effort than an ordinary saloon thanks to two gas struts. 04 RENAULT SPORT TECHNOLOGIES’ EXPERTISE FOR GREATER DRIVING PLEASURE The expertise of Renault Sport Technologies (R.S.T) when it comes to motoring enjoyment needs no introduction, and Renault Wind has benefited extensively from the knowledge of R.S.T’s engineers. Staff at R.S.T’s engineering headquarters in Les Ulis, near Paris, France, worked closely with teams from the nearby Technocentre in Guyancourt to ensure that Wind benefited fully from the company's very best skills. The new coupé-roadster capitalises on the strengths of the Clio 2 R.S. platform which is perfectly suited to the power outputs of the two engines available for Renault Wind, namely the TCe 100 and the 1.6 16V 133hp. The know-how of R.S.T’s engineers enabled them to achieve the best weight/body rigidity ratio for a coupé-roadster, allowing Renault Wind owners to profit from an enjoyable ride combined with low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

  • Press Kit Frankfurt En
    IAA 2011 Frankfurt International Motorshow September 13, 2011 Renault has chosen the 64 th International Frankfurt Motor Show to take the wraps off FRENDZY, the fourth concept car to illustrate the brand's new strategy launched in 2010. After the notion of ‘love at first sight’ expressed by DeZir, discovering the world with Captur and the establishment of a family with R-Space, FRENDZY presents the world of work. FRENDZY is a multi-purpose commercial business electric vehicle which doubles up perfectly as a comfortable car. Renault has chosen Frankfurt to show how concepts go on to reach the showroom. New Twingo is the first Renault production car to feature some of the styling cues showcased by the brand's recent concept cars. Thanks to its attractive, expressive front end and extensive personalisation programme, New Twingo is sure to appeal to an even broader audience. This practical and compact city car boasts record cabin space and is at home both in town and on the motorway. At the same time, the fuel consumption of its punchy engines has come down even further. On the subject of engines, the Frankfurt Motor Show provides Renault with the ideal opportunity to reveal the latest developments in its powertrain strategy. Following the recent launches of the Energy dCi 130 and 2.0 Energy 130/150 engines, the Energy family is set to expand further still with two new powerplants: the Energy TCe 115 petrol engine and the Energy dCi 110, an extensively enhanced version of the current 1.5 dCi diesel. The Renault Energy range is a case study in how innovation can work not only for performance, but also for low fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions.

Innovative roof concept achieves high volume storage The compact two-seater is only 3.83 metres long and is ideal for everyday use. Thanks to its special roof construction the Renault Wind is the only vehicle in its class that offers the same spacious boot capacity of 270 litres with the hood either up or down. "Webasto e has once again proven that the term convertible does not necessarily mean less storage space, even in small vehicles”, explains Michael Altmeyer, Managing Director Sales of Webasto-Edscha Cabrio. ”This could only be achieved through innovative compact packaging solutions.” Only 12 seconds to open After manually releasing the front latch the one-piece retractable hardtop opens automatically at the push of a button. The roof system pivots back in one piece and disappears beneath the hood box. Thanks to the use of innovative kinematics with an electric motor developed by Webasto, the top can be opened and closed in only 12 seconds. That's twice as fast as other convertible models in this vehicle segment. The Renault Wind offers safety with a rigid rollover bar, hardtop and a high side profile. In Germany the standard roof comes in a matt black plastic material, and also in black varnish as an optional extra.
