    Looking at Renault Craziest Ever Concept Cars

    The French car company Renault have been known to bring some crazy car concepts to the table, and even the cars that made it past the concept stage such as the 100% electric Renault Twizy is an interesting vehicle. Renault has created some cars that look like they’ve jumped straight out of Wonderland, and although they’ve had some honest offerings like the Captur, Twingo and KADJAR, are all available at Glyn Hopkin used Renault cars, and have taken the car industry by storm. However, we’re taking a step back from the norm, and looking at Renault’s craziest ever concept cars.

    Renault Roadster Laguna
    The Renault Roadster Laguna was created ‘driving for the love of it’. When it was created, in 1990, it was a technological innovation when it came to passive safety. The two seater sports car was ultra-low and ultra-modern for its time and also featured no windscreen or roof for a true hair in the wind experience. Instead drivers and their passenger are supposed to wear a protective visor which featured a built in infra-red radio.  This 2 litre turbo charged engine allowed drivers to go from 0 – 60mph in 6 seconds and was easily one of the craziest concept cars that Renault ever came up with.

    Renault Racoon
    This concept car was first shown in 1992, and the Renault Racoon was also acquatic capable. Drivers had to enter the vehicle by opening the front of the car and its suspension also created a levered effect which allowed the car to be raised up in order to provide additional ground clearance. It also featured many radical technologies for the time, such as remote controlled entry, satellite navigation and cameras instead of rear view mirrors.


    Renault Zo
    The Renault Zo is an open top car that was introduced in 1998, that was based on the Renault Spider. The car was a futuristic, two seater roaster, with pneumatic suspension system and a hydraulic pump which allowed the car to be lifted while driving. Although this car never came into production, the more sensible, yet revolutionary 100% electric Renault Zoe has taken the car industry by storm.

    Renault Nepta
    Although the Renault Nepta doesn’t look as outrageous as some of Renault’s other concept cars, the two-door convertible offered a 7 speed gear box. The Nepta could accelerate to 62mph in 4.9 seconds and was unusual for the Renault brand as it was a rear-wheel drive that consisted of a large petrol. It was a stunning concept car and it’s a shame that it never came into production.

    Renault Vesta II
    The Renault Vesta II was one of the world’s most efficient passenger car that was powered with gasoline and was bought to life in 1987. This drivable prototype gave active aerodynamics to manage airflow around the engine and an air suspension that offered a fuel-efficient answer to the car industry. According to the factory the top speed of the car was just 86mph and although the three door hatchback may not have been the prettiest of all cars, but it certainly would have been revolutionary for the time.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
