Renault Dezir appears at Paris 2010
If anyone ever thought that Renault couldn`t release a concept car, he was totally wrong.Paris Motor Show hosted the presentation of the all-electric Dezir, a car concept, which is both pretty and absurd. Designers did a magnificent job with a pair of reverse-hinged butterfly doors and aluminum sideblades.It is pretty obvious that this car concept features a fittingly-futuristic powertrain. Renault producers confirm that the curvy metal sheet hides a full EV drivetrain on hand.The engine develops 150 hp and 166 pound-feet of torque, which means that the car is not super-rivaling power, though. Still, it is able to dart to around 60 mph in only ...

After weeks of speculation, things have been finally made official. The Volkswagen Group has announced that they have bought 90.1% of the Italian design company Italdesign, previously owned by the Giugiaro family.
