| Pics & Details Aplenty: Renault Twingo RS | | 2008-08-26 16:15:00 | | After its initial unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show this past March, Renault has finally released full details – including pricing, equipment, and a whole $h!tload of new photos – of the new Twingo Renault Sport. Following the great line of eminently chuckable sport hatches from the French automaker – including the current Clio and Megane Renault Sport models – the Twingo Renault Sport upgrades the existing range-topping Twingo GT with a host of performance-oriented equipment inside, outside and underneath. Power comes from a 133-hp 1.6-liter 16-valve four-banger, and the Twingo RS comes right out of the gate with a choice of two chassis set-ups: Sport and Cup. The latter tightens up the suspension, cuts out 17 kg of weight and offers 17-inch dark anthracite wheels.You'll recall that while its on-track rivals like Ferrari and McLaren turn their F1 know-how into six-figure supercars, Renault transfers its into sport hatches like this one.

The 53-year-old R&D engineer had been with the team for 27 years, remaining at his post as the team changed ownership and name from Toleman to Bennetton and then Renault. Sources suggest that Millar had shot himself in the head with a firearm, and police are not treating the incident with suspicion.

| 2010 Renault Alpine Sportscar All But Confirmed? | | 2008-07-28 06:41:00 | | While Renault car sales in France have been robust in the first half of 2008, in Europe – its biggest market – the group is down 4.6 percent. If higher sales and better market penetration is the question, could a sports coupé be the answer? The Cartribe reckon Renault thinks so. They say after an interview with one of Renault’s highest-ranking officials, news was revealed to them of a sportscar similar to the Nissan’s 350Z will be on sale by 2010.Underpinning this vehicle would be an Infiniti G37/ Nissan 370 Z base, which we think wouldn’t be a lame idea in the least bit, given the outstanding handling characteristics of these two cousins. Moreover, the name Alpine would be the one to carry a sports Renault. You know the name from decades ago when it used to build winning racing cars using Renault engines. Although WCF reported on such a car a few weeks ago, it has been very much a rumour. Up until now.A Renault proper sportscar we suspect would use a relatively small turbo ... | | By: Autoshows | | |

| Rumormill: Renault Alpine could be based off Nissan 370Z | | 2008-07-27 13:16:00 | | We've been following the developments of Renault's revival of the Alpine marque since earlier this year, and its been confirmed that the first of several new models will debut sometime in 2010. From the beginning, Renault made it clear that Alpine would benefit from dedicated models, rather than rebadged or re-engineered Renaults. Earlier reports suggested something mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive and similar in size to the Mazda Miata or last-generation Toyota MR2, but a new report suggests that Nissan might be tapped to provide a platform and drivetrain.The director of Renaultsport supposedly sat down with CarTribe to discuss the future of the automaker's high-performance offerings and when asked if a new Alpine model could be based off the Nissan GT-R, he denied it, instead hinting at the use of Nissan's FM platform that underpins the G37 coupe, G35 sedan and upcoming Nissan 370Z. The new model could be more geared towards track duty, with a serious diet and some tweaks to the drivetra... | | By: Car News | | |

| Renault debuts electric sedan in Israel | | 2008-05-17 11:47:00 | | A landmark was recently passed on Israel's road to reduced dependance on foreign oil when Renault and Project Better Place held a demonstration of an electric car that will hit Israeli streets next year. For those unacquainted with Project Better Place, the Silicon Valley start-up headed by tech guru Shai Agassi has teamed up with Renault-Nissan to build and deploy fully electric Meganes in the seaside Middle Eastern country. The batteries that will power the vehicles are built by a joint-venture between Nissan and NEC, have a 125-mile range and will be supported by half a million charging stations and hundreds of battery-swap stations. Those specs should be enough to satisfy drivers in a country barely 60 miles between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, and 260 miles from the Red Sea to its border with Lebanon. An initial launch fleet is scheduled to hit roads next year before sales begin in late 2010. The hope is that Israel will prove a suitable test case before the project... | | By: Car News | | |

| Renault Megane leaked in French mag | | 2008-04-30 05:57:00 | | Renault has been hard at work on the replacement for the current Megane. Following the new Clio, which came out three years ago, the Megane is an important model for the French automaker, designed to face off against volume leaders like the Volkswagen Golf/Rabbit and Ford Focus. French magazine Auto Plus has managed to obtain some undisguised shots of the car, presumably obtained from a Renault employee in exchange for a case of wine, a carton of Gauloise and/or a joke about Americans.As promised, the new Megane will be substantially more subdued in its styling than the love-it-or-hate-it current model, with its curved upright rear window. The front end borrows heavily from the new Laguna, hinting at a common design language for the company. There's certainly some similarity between the production version and the Megane Coupe Concept unveiled at the Geneva show this year. Although the production Megane will predictably be considerably more conservative than the show car, the three-door... | | By: Car News | | |

This is its first proper foray into the sport-ute segment, finally surrendering when the French automaker realized the crossover craze would not be subsiding any time soon.

| Renault Makes Alonso Highest Paid Driver | | 2008-02-24 10:58:00 | | Back in the 2005 and 2006 Formula One seasons, Fernando Alonso thoroughly trounced Michael Schumacher for the title. Since then, Alonso hasn't beaten many of Schumacher's records, but the two-time champion can now rest easy knowing that he's finally earning more than Schumi.Although finances in F1 are secrets as closely guarded as technical breakthroughs, reports now indicate that Alonso's deal to return to Renault has made him the most highly-paid driver in or out of F1. If the reports are to be believed, Alonso will make $46 million this season. That's only from his contract with Renault and does not include sponsorship deals and only stands if Alonso stays for a second year.The amount is $1 million more than Kimi Raikkonen reportedly makes at Ferrari and more than double what his former team-mate Lewis Hamilton earned in last year driving for McLaren. In fact, Hamilton reportedly resigned with McLaren for $138 million over the next five years, which breaks down to $27.6 ... | | By: Car Freaks Blog | | |

| Rumored: Renault To Show New Alpine At Geneva | | 2008-02-21 06:25:00 | | Rumors say that Renault is preparing to launch an unspecified concept car at the upcoming Geneva show, alongside the new Koleos crossover. Patrick Pelata, the French automaker's product planning manager, confirmed that Renault is working on a new sportscar. "Think Mazda MX-5 or even Smart Roadster and you are on the right lines", said Pelata in a recent interview. As previous reports said the small roadster will have more content than the previous Renault Sport Spider and could feature a mid-mounted turbocharged engine driving the rear wheels. Reviving the Alpine name, the new model is also expected to be just first of a new lineup of sport cars that would capitalize on Renault's success in Formula One. Meanwhile marketing chief Stephen Norman revealed that the company is also working on a new flagship sedan positioned above the new Laguna set to target French rivals from PSA Peugeot-Citroen. We have just two weeks to see what Renault has for us in Switzerland this year.

You’ll spot him easily, he’ll be the guy in the suit with the sweaty brow sprinting in-between the Renault, Dacia, Infiniti and Nissan stands.He will be spending a considerable amount of time at the Renault stand though as Renault are preparing to release 4 new models at the show. There will also be an announcement regarding the future of its value brand, Dacia.Initial details of the Twingo RS and the Koleos have been released recently. The Twingo will sport a 133bhp 1.6L engine in its compact little body which should firmly plant it in “pocket rocket†territory. Could this be the spiritual successor to the original Clio 16V?The Koleos is Renault’s first proper crossover SUV. It shares much with its Nissan X-Trail cousin under the skin so expect similar powertrains and reasonable off road ability.The start of the show could be the new Laguna GT with Renaultsport honed 4 wheel steer, further details of this vehicle will be available o... | | By: Car Tuning Styling | | |

| Spy Shots: All-New Renault Megane | | 2008-02-15 15:51:33 | | The third generation Renault Megane was spotted by a spy photographer during testing this week before its debut later this year. These photos seem to be of the Megane 5-door hatchback. Speculatively based on the Renault Altica concept car from the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, the new Megane should have several different variants, including 3-door, 5-door hatchback, sedan, and coupe models. A convertible, crossover, and station wagon could also be possible. The current generation of the Megane is on the market for six years, having received a facelift in 2006. The new Megane will be probably unveiling at the Paris Auto Show this September. The Renault Megane Mk3 will be competing against the Fiat Bravo, Ford Focus, Opel Astra, Peugeot 308, Toyota Auris and VW Golf.Gallery: Renault Megane Spy Shots

| Spied: 2010 Renault Megane | | 2008-01-03 21:36:00 | | The new Renault Mégane hatchback has broken cover. Our spies have caught the French family favourite undergoing on-road testing. We’ve already previewed the coupé version’s stunning look, but this is the first time we’ve seen the new five-door hatch.Under the heavy disguise is a smooth shape that does away with the present car’s sharp lines and creases. As our exclusive image shows, the Mégane takes its influence from the new Laguna instead.The hatchback has a distinctive swooping roofline that will include panoramic glass on range-topping models. At the rear, a conventionally shaped hatch will replace the controversial rump of the existing car. As with its predecessor, there will be a choice of three and five-door layouts, a Sport Touring estate and a new C-C folding hard-top, as well as the coupé.Renault is likely to carry over the engine line-up unchanged. That means a range of petrol motors from 1.6 litres up to a 2.0-litre 225bhp turbo in the hot Renaultsport version. ... | | By: My Blog | | |

| Spied: 2009 Renault Laguna Coupe | | 2008-01-02 23:37:00 | | The sleek three-door has already been revealed in concept form at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. But these spy shots give the clearest view yet of the production model.Snapped with a camera phone as engineers took a break from their test route, the images show all the details of the stylish machine. It will break new ground for Renault by offering a cheaper alternative to the likes of the Audi A5 and forthcoming Volkswagen Passat Coupé. The sporty model is based on the same platform as the five-door, and gets four-wheel steering, plus a choice of punchy petrol and diesel engines. A flagship version will be powered by a new V6 diesel, producing up to 260bhp. But this model is unlikely to be offered from launch. When the Coupé arrives at the end of the year, prices should range from about £23,000 to £30,000-plus.... | | By: My Blog | | |

| Euro NCAP: five stars for New Renault Laguna | | 2007-12-24 12:55:02 | | Laguna II was the first vehicle to ever achieve a five-star rating in the passive safety assessment tests carried out by the independent body, Euro NCAP. It was a result that took the car into a new era. Today, it’s the turn of New Laguna to achieve the same maximum five-star rating. With a total of 36 points from a possible 37, one of the highest scores ever recorded in the tests, the newcomer even outperformed its predecessor to once again highlight Renault's expertise in the realm of passive safety. In addition to its Euro NCAP credentials, New Laguna delivers reassuring handling thanks to its precise, responsive chassis, while at the same time ensuring a level of braking and technology that puts it at the top end of its category in real-life motoring conditions. Systematic work into optimising the protection of all occupantsAs Laguna II was the first vehicle to achieve a five-star rating in the Euro NCAP safety assessment tests, it was only natural that New Laguna should st... | | By: AutoBeat | blog Auto news, reviews, concepts, auto | | |

| First Drive 2008 Renault Twingo | | 2007-12-24 12:49:27 | | Beloved in France, the Renault Twingo that arrived in 1993 was undoubtedly one revolutionary little car. Small, but with a roomy (for its size) interior, the Twingo’s big round headlights and squat stance earned it the nickname of la grenouille (“the frog”). Roughly 2.4 million copies were sold during its life span, but after 14 years on the market and a couple of mild face lifts—plus countless special editions—the original frog had finally croaked its last. The new, more refined and mature Twingo arrived in France this past summer and officially bid adieu to the wide-eyed headlights and egg-shaped body of the original.Unlike its equally new big brother, the Laguna, the tiny Twingo manages a smidgen of cuteness. Its tall greenhouse, very short front and rear overhangs, and upright silhouette have a jaunty charm. Far from being as adorable as the new Fiat 500, the Twingo is at least as visually appealing as the similarly sized Toyota Aygo or Volkswagen Fox. The Twingo’s 141.... | | By: AutoBeat | blog Auto news, reviews, concepts, auto | | |
