Suggestion: Scale up. Make car bigger using quad (4) hub motors & larger battery pack. W/quad setup, u can locate regenerative brakes inside motor shaft. ECM would turns by making inbound wheels run slower, stopped, or reverse. Pivot point of zero turns radius can be applied anywhere alongside the length of car, dependent on motor direction & torque spin. Highly recommend integrated drive/neutral gearing in motor wheel housing to save on battery power when cruising down the highway.
I'd love to get one. Wouldn't mind seeing a slightly wider version where the passangers could sit side by side. Also windows would be nice, though I suspect some of the missing sections are to keep the weight down and improve battery life.
I work at Renault technocentre where that video was shot, now and then you see the production version driving around, it's nearly complete, It definitely looks cool, but I'll keep my motorbike and my car for now.
Remember this is a prototype. I'm sure the gear noise will be sorted out on the production model. You can hear the gears turning just because there are no piston engine roar.
there's two more years of development before it is put on sale - i have no doubts that it will be a lot quieter when they finally put it into production
I don't like the open Plan. I think it needs fully locking doors with fully closing windows as an option, maybe carbon fibre as not to add too much weight. It will be expensive, but that is for the buyer to choose.
@ItsMarvinAbel Most likely it will be less noisy than a combusion engine car. Have you ever seen a Prius, moving with only electrical engine? I guess it will be about the same.
I am consern about a SemiTruck 18 wheels with its Full load crashing it at 70 miles per hour. side impect , head on front crash and rear crash. my other question what its top speed and range?
Heard about the Tesla Roadster? There are others, too: Ginetta G50EV, Lightning, Wright Speed, X1. Try entering those names in the UA-cam search field above.
Please renault / nissan build the Twizy and the Land Glider. They are perfect for commuting. And we all have to commute, right? Autocar and other automotive sources should start lobbying for these small people movers!
@notgodsemigod I do not agree. Look at citygo.it cars. They seem crappy, but at least they have windows. No scooter weights 450 kg. How much could two windows weight? 5kg? (Moreover windows for bottom part of doors can be added as optional) It is 1% of total weight. How much could this affect energy consumption? Considering energy consumption depends on air resistence, tire friction, and acceleration. The first factor doesn't change with weight. The third might too if energy is recovered braking
those cars arent in to much trouble, they arent good for the enviroment but the very few people who own them take them out like once a month, its the more heavy duty pickups and suvs in danger
Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway. Lookin' for adventure .And whatever comes our way. Yeah Darlin' go make it happen. Take the world in a love embrace. Fire all of your guns at once. And explode into space I like smoke and lightning. Heavy metal thunder. Racin' with the wind. And the feelin' that I'm under. Yeah Darlin' go make it happen. Take the world in a love embrace. Fire all of your guns at once. And explode into space!! BORN TO BE WIIIILLDD Yeahh!!
@MrEcchin if you're in a car what are you gonna do? he would still point at you and go like "Pass me you wallert, your cellphone and you watch!!" if you drive away he would shoot at your car's tires, back window, and the repair cost more then your wallet (possibly) or you might be forced to stop and then he would still go "Pass me you wallert, your cellphone and you watch!! DAMN IT"
una broma de vehiculo, no es moto, no es coche, y el conductor se tiene que salir del vehiculo para que salga el acompañante, el coche electrico no sera una opcion si no se obliga a las compañias a fabricar al menos un modelo de su gama con motor electrico a ser posible el modelo de mayor venta
better than scooter. Just need to make it the new fad in terms of urban transport. The only problem is people are not so willing to accept change. If everyone drives one then it will be "inherently safer" since everyones driving the same size car and nobody in an SUV would run over you into a pulp.
I think hydrogen is the future - not electricity. BMW have a 7-series wich runs only on hydrogen for example. There's a type charm in a bigger engine. Listen to a Audi V12 TDI or a CLS 500. Immagine how much better those cars are going to be when they run on hydrogen. The sound is like a mechanical orchestra and this plastic thing.... well it's annoying.
Why make such a car at all?! I mean look at Tesla Roadster. Its fast (o-100: 4 sec) and looks good..and this is only one example. Why spend money on such a thing when Renault has the capacity to make much better looking and better driving car. This is really silly, to put it mildly!

Did you see that full throttle burnout at the end? You can get whiplash from that!

can i get one in the US? this is so cool. i would love to own one. i wonder how high they will price them.
Ofc the French are pushing electric cars - they had the foresight to build enough reactors / windgens to be able to charge them.
I want one now !
Amo esse carro! Foi amor a primeira vista, seria a mulher mais feliz do mundo se um dia pudesse ter um desse 😍
Makes me wander how long it will be until it's raced, on go kart tracks

This looks so much nicer than the normal version thats out, why not just keep this as the production version?
1:18 oh what a lovely sound.......
I like, so why don't u sell it in the USA?
nice looing electric car...but will it remain a concept or are they going to make the thing for real?
I am consern about a SemiTruck 18 wheels with its Full load crashing it at 70 miles per hour.
side impect , head on front crash and rear crash.
my other question what its top speed and range?
Hi I heard about renaul trizer is very expensive. How much is it, and where did you buy it?
I love this car ! But can´t they put doors on this car ! What happens when it rains or snows?
always likened the idea of a 1+1 seating position
but will it blend?
It's a 2 seater. The passenger sits behind the driver.
@taniapoleth
It's really not that noisy compared to a car. You harldy hear it at all.
I hope they will have this car in the next Gran Turismo game
it looks so futuristic that is should hoover around instead of using 4 wheels. this should be in a movie or a golf course.
@MrEcchin Adding to what you said the same thing can happen to a cyclist or motorcyclist.
my next car!
They can't honestly be suggesting that people would buy AND drive that thing, right?
alguien sabe ke velocidad maxima alcanza??
anybody knows what is his biggest speed?
Heard about the Tesla Roadster? There are others, too: Ginetta G50EV, Lightning, Wright Speed, X1. Try entering those names in the UA-cam search field above.
can they please make futuristic electric cars at least half good looking?
Is this electric car hand drive, or same as real car?
@manasith908 Not as safe as a car, but if you judge it by scooter standards, it's deinately safer.
Please renault / nissan build the Twizy and the Land Glider. They are perfect for commuting. And we all have to commute, right? Autocar and other automotive sources should start lobbying for these small people movers!
that looks..sooo coool!!!!!!!!!!

1:14 Listen to that engine roar!!!
ol at the blig-bling wheels. I thought these were spinners for a second.
I WANT THIS FOR CHRISTMAS
it will work well in London.
This is great, except that it doesn't have windows. This is a real flaw. I can't figure what the people who projected it had in mind.
Hahaha!
I'm sorry Renault. But all I could think of, as it pulled away from the camera, was 'The Magic Roundabout theme tune'!
X-D
best response
im actually jealous of my sims 3 characters cos they get to drive it! i soooo badly want one but its gonna be way expensive
1:14 The car sounds like a RC Car XD LOLLL
Very true
those cars arent in to much trouble, they arent good for the enviroment but the very few people who own them take them out like once a month, its the more heavy duty pickups and suvs in danger
i want one! but i couldnt get in

BORN TO BE WIIIILLDD Yeahh!!
For some weird reason I want this
this car is waaaaay to futuristic, its like year 2040, but it looks good for some reason
That could also happen to you when you are on a bike, scooter, on foot..
don't hit a gutter though, those sexy wheels covers will shatter!
if they really tried, they could have come up with a better design, idea is very good though pollution wise
@MrEcchin if you're in a car what are you gonna do? he would still point at you and go like "Pass me you wallert, your cellphone and you watch!!" if you drive away he would shoot at your car's tires, back window, and the repair cost more then your wallet (possibly) or you might be forced to stop and then he would still go "Pass me you wallert, your cellphone and you watch!! DAMN IT"
there are no speed bumps in the EU
I cant to see the stig test this around the now dat would be awesome hope Top Gear feature this car on their show :)
show us crash-test!
im not buying that next year... its unsafe... i mean, no crumple zones? airbags?
Good Luck, Renault!!
Anyway, I like it, allthough it sounds the suburban train, I take every dayxDxD
una broma de vehiculo, no es moto, no es coche, y el conductor se tiene que salir del vehiculo para que salga el acompañante, el coche electrico no sera una opcion si no se obliga a las compañias a fabricar al menos un modelo de su gama con motor electrico a ser posible el modelo de mayor venta
it will be... £3.500 in english money
great value i think
BRUTE CAR
:D
cool
might as well buy 1 of those stand up things or a regular scooter
but it wont squeeze between traffic so its pointless
But the best electric car is, and will always be:the hammerhead I eagle thrust
100 km range! :D
It sounds kinda like a RC car.
looks good! but it looks slow.
The LFA video brought me here.....
In a red light:
Pass me you wallert, your cellphone and you watch!!
Ok... :'(
@MrEcchin why da hell??
is that a car?!?
@manasith908 but it´s still much safer than a scooter and i guess you would also drive a scooter ^^
well this looks good but im not sure about it
The steering wheel looks like a wii controller
how is this revolutionary? I've seen a golf cart do the same thing.
better than scooter. Just need to make it the new fad in terms of urban transport. The only problem is people are not so willing to accept change. If everyone drives one then it will be "inherently safer" since everyones driving the same size car and nobody in an SUV would run over you into a pulp.
Parece el coche de los picapiedra
put a veyron engine in it and i would buy it.
It looks like a futuristic geriatrics mobility scooter...
the crash test for that looks bad......
I think hydrogen is the future - not electricity.
BMW have a 7-series wich runs only on hydrogen for example.

I want one of these toys!!! :DDD lol

in an enormous city like Mexico this doesnt work
Or rather look as good.
Looks like a designer of wheelchair had a LSD-trip...
If i pulled up and parked that car, im pretty sure when i came back, somebody would have tiped it on its side =/
the steer looks like a Wii remote -_-
wow i can park this car in my room,lol
I call it: 'The nerd-mobile"
and how do I pick up chicks in this car?
It looks like a sports invalid chair :))
ET AS LANDED LOL, GROOOOOOVY
There making Power Wheels road legal? Oh God...
lol i need one of these!
The real one which is out now doesent looks so good ...
