Renault is showing off their latest whacky concept at the Geneva Motor Show – the MPEG2.

The MPEG2 is a small crossover which could hint at the possible future views of competition to the Nissan Juke.
It is the second a series of concepts of Renault, after the Dezir. There are six in a row that says the company, is based around a theme of ‘Circle of Life’. Was the Dezir represent love, drop the MPEG2 on “two people, exploring the world around you” should be while.

The concept is different to anything in the current Renault range, with sweeping curves on front and rear, especially around the front flanks and rear Wheelarches wild. Nose bears a strong resemblance to the Dezir’s holding back some similarities to the latest Megane in some routes.

Renault says the concept should be mobile, and it contains a 158bhp twin turbo diesel engine, which should provide emissions of 99 g / km. It is paired with an EDC dual clutch automatic transmission, although it is unlikely that it would get far on the huge 22-inch wheels.

Although Renault says there is no chance, the MPEG2 make it production, Nissan is transferred to a possible rival some styling cues Juke, that could make the production as early as 2013.

The Clio has appeared in a variety of different forms over the years, from small engined runabouts to the truly ‘enfant terrible” ClioSport
V6. One thing has remained constant though- the Clio’s ability to make you smile. It is a pleasure to drive, and in typically French
style, knows it.

The Clio has always appealed because it is full of character and doesn’t require mortgaging a house to buy. Traditionally Clios have
always been known as cheap cars. Even though it has gone up a bit in price, it still retains
some of the cheap and cheerful heritage that made it appeal to the masses in the early days. The design of the modern Clio really does
make you look twice- the word stunning comes to mind.

It is obvious then that the Renault Clio appeals to a wide ranging audience. From new drivers with a 1.1 litre engine to families and
even racers after a V6 powerhouse, a Clio will really do you proud. What’s more, it wants to be driven, and it wants to look good.

One of the best place to shop for cheap cars is online due to
the insanely large selection. You can pick up a cheap Renault Clio without any difficulty, and often with outrageous discounts. In some
instances you can see up to a 50% reduction from retail prices, which can really give you a lot of bang for your buck.

So if you’re a fan of all things French or simply just want a cheap little runaround, the Renault Clio should be your first port of call.
Like Napoleon, the Clio proves impressive things can come in small sizes!

I have recently been some time in the latest Renaultsport Clio Cup. Now I do not know how about you, but I’m confused too little in the scheme of fast Renaults. A Cup Trophy is here, a pinch of whole numbers and do not get me started on the forthcoming, brand-stretching Gordini models. It is a confection made marketing nuances that makes me wince. But there’s nowt wrong with the product.

A light green Clio Cup is about to join car’s long-term test fleet, which carried by our staff writer Ben Pulman invaluable. He is in the choice of the purist flopped: Cup a stripped-out model. Loads in the search for Junk-36kg over the regular Clio 200, it niceties like air conditioning (a pain in the winter), posh dash plastics and leccy mirrors, and it’s crisp specced some optional Recaro seats. He does not know struggle with cars, Mr. P.

At a time when even the mildest of the Korean cars have most things pretty well, we often talk about motoring journos character. Well, the Clio Cup hisses positively with the stuff. From his burning eyes lacquer finish in the cabin of the purists, this is a car for the ride.

The basic Clio is now often overlooked, so fast is the pace of change in the small car sector. It is a spacious, well built compact and full of verve. A perfect base for a rapid Pocket Rocket. But the gurus Renaultsport has a pinch of magic to transform Good to Great.

They sit in the Recaros embraced, and all the controls are perfectly weighted and exactly where they should be. Even an amateur like me can with his foot on the brake roll and blip the throttle, so well placed, are the pedals. And you want it down at every change, is so eager to cut the Clio 200 and into the next corner into slices. The 2.0-liter pot is a strong character, which is also delivering its 197bhp at a screaming 7100rpm. No wonder, editor McNamara was muttering about this being the Lambo in small cars.

I recently drove the Clio Cup back in the same way as the Lamborghini Murcielago SV. And you know what? I just had so much fun in the Renault as a super sports car. The Clio thrill on another level, it flatters the driver goads you in perfecting your line and is a timely reminder that fun need not happen at mega speeds in this camera-infested environment.

I’d say go that far, it is one of the best cars on sale today for less than € 16,000. Do you agree? Click on “Add Comment” and tell us what car you do is the best hot hatch for sale today.

The French call it a “coupe-roadster”, enabled by its metal folding roof hardtop. But, in contrast to other candidate countries, the new Renault Wind 180deg in a simple roof loadbay flops – we are uploading the video to this story, allowing you the ease of use can be seen in action, go topless takes only 12 seconds of twisting manual locking the electric end of their work.

Renault Wind: a Tigra from France!

The wind is certainly quite diddy. Just 3830mm long, in fact, put it slap bang in the Mini convertible / Opel Tigra area. This is hardly a massive market in the United Kingdom, GM corporal punishment only 2900 Tigras each year.

The soft top is an elegant technical solution. At first glance, it looks like the system on the Ferrari 575 Superamerica, but closer inspection shows mechanism is the wind, to be wiser. When you open the boot with the roof down, depends on the aft deck with the roof stowed in tow. Nifty.

The wind is front-wheel drive with a choice of two engines and five-speed transmission:

• 1.2 Turbo
• 1.6 from the Clio Renaultsport

Why does the wind is a two-seater Renault

Despite these bases Twingo, the wind is a pure two-seater. That is enough space for 270 liters of luggage space can be, regardless of the position of the roof. Although we have not yet seen the wind interior, the dash has a unique layout, says Renault.

Expect UK sales of fixed June 2010, price to undercut the Peugeot 207 CC and his ilk from around £ 16,000.

However, I already can standardize the Renault Twingo 133 Cup Renaultsport Twingo chassis, what is new we can expect?

Pen and paper ready, because things get a bit more complex. You have 12,495 pounds on a regular basis can buy a small Renaultsport Twingo’s 133, but there is also a cup of chassis options. For £ 650 it increased by 10% stiffer springs and shock absorbers, reducing the 4 mm body height, and an increase of 17-inch wheels and tires instead of the regular 16.

This is the same set Renaultsport has Creole, standardization, and allows you to regular 200, and then choose the enhanced chassis for the World Cup things. However, in Clio 200 There is also a reducing (cheap) options for Clio Cup. Now Beauty line is following suit.

New Beauty Line Cup to keep Cup chassis settings, but to replace the standard rear seats slide back for a while went to the air-conditioning, auto lights and tinted rear windows.
The result is …

Renaults Twingo 133 Cup 2009 layoffs in the device 10 to reduce the company’s kerbweight, you will get rid of in the hot summer day a few pounds of their own, there was no air conditioning cooling you.

However, no air, people can benefit from energy-saving is your own can save a few pounds. New Beauty Line cup cost £ 11,795, which means that it’s 700 pounds more than the basic Renaultsport Twingo’s cheaper, £ 1300 less than a cup equipped cars, although it retains the latter’s chassis.

Why so Great ? Refinement, comfor, space, safety

Renault used to make a lot of noise about some of its models shakin’ their asses, but the next-generation Clio is more likely to be shouting about its distinctive nose.

Early images suggest the car will have a dramatically altered front end,making it far more distinctive and greatly improving its Euro NCAP pedestrian safety rating, which is seen as an important area in attracting sales. Interior updates are likely to be limited to new materials and its unclear yet whether Renault Clio 2009 will add two-way steering wheel adjustment and soft-touch dash plastics to all models, rather than just higher-specification versions, as at present.

The latest engine range is expected to include upgrade versions of the 1.5 litre diesels and possibly the new 128bhp 1.4 petrol that is makeing its debut in the latest Megane.

What stikes me is the resemblance with the new Laguna.The Gulwing doors are there just to impress and to give the car a futuristic feel.The interior is also from the future and nowone can imagine it in a production model(at least not for the next 10 years anyway).

The back reminds us that the current Megane hatchback isn’t dead yet but it shows its age.

Even though the actual car will be more down to Earth,this concept is a great feat of engineering and the guys over at Renault proved that even if they’re French,that doesn’t mean that they have to make nice and cudly cars.Good for them and I hope they keep it up.
