Renault ZOE e-Sport, a 100% electrical and 100% sporty concept car
Renault discloses the ZOE e-Sport concept-car, a super sport version of its best-selling electrical model in Europe.
100% electrical and 100% sporty, ZOE e-Sport is the perfect mix between a Renault ZOE series car and an electrical Renault monopost, capitalizing on the motorsport experience of Renault e.dams team, double champion in Formula E.
Equipped with two motors located at the front and rear sides of the vehicle, yielding a total power of 340 kW or 460 HP, ZOE e-Sport can get from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds. The two batteries can store 40 kWh.
ZOE e-Sport has a sporty and expressive design. The car body colour is “Bleu Satiné”, a similar shade to that used for Renault e.dams monoposts. As a result of specific material selection studies, of the carbon car body and the chassis design, the concept car weighs only1400 kg (including 450 kg batteries).
ZOE e-Sport maintains the brand identity by adopting features from the sports car models in Renault Sport range, with the "C"-shaped bright signature framing the front lights.
The interior is equipped with two RECARO seats with race belts. The rectangular wheel clears the visual field.
Just like in Formula E, the pilot may access the parameter settings of the propulsion and energy management system, like in an e.dams Renault monopost. ZOE e-Sport integrates electronic command elements, configured by Renault, which manage the battery power accurately and dynamically. The energy management is fully customizable and adjustable, with the "normal" and "race" operating modes.
The electronic settings provide four driving modes. These combinations adapt the vehicle to the pilot's objectives, focusing either on sportiness or on autonomy. It also adapts to the type of circuit and the driving style, dosing the power assigned to each motor and the torque distribution between the two axles.
The new Captur completes Renault's crossover range
The new Captur, the best selling urban crossover in Europe in 2016, with 215,670 units, has reinvented itself in terms of design and technology while also maintaining its practical character.
Captur keeps the essential elements that built its success, including the two-tone body. The customization possibilities were extended, so clients can chose now between more than 30 different combinations to personalize their own car. The new model takes this differentiation process one step further, proposing six personalization packages for the interior and a variety of colours – Ivory, Ocean Blue, Caramel, Red, Satin Chrome and Patina Chrome. Five packages are proposed for the exterior: Ivory, Ocean Blue, Capuccino, Red and Atacama Orange (for wheel screws and wheel well protectors).
Emphasised crossover design
The new Captur is provided with full Pure Vision LED lights, depending on the version. This technology refines the exterior design and improves safety, providing a higher efficiency. The “C”-shaped LED daytime running lamps are integrated in the lower bumper, recreating thus the brand's bright identity. The rear lights feature the same signature, visible during night and day.
Captur was redesigned to suit the new design line of its elderly brother Kadjar. Thus the grille has been redrawn, with a new chromium strip. The bumper includes new design elements, underlining Captur’s adventurous personality. Four types of tyres are available for the first three fitting levels: two of 16”, Extrême & Adventure, and two of 17”, Emotion & Explore.
Starting with the third fitting level Captur can be equipped with a fixed glass panel roof. This new feature, available only in the two-tone configuration, improves ambient light in the cabin.
A refined interior and intuitive technological elements
The interior design is more refined, with quality materials, fine chromium elements and sober but elegant colours. The wheel has also been redesigned, and the gear stick has a new style. The door panels have been redrawn to integrate the command buttons harmoniously. The roof has LED lighting elements and individual reading lights.
In the top versions the new seat design improves side support. At the same time Captur maintains its most practical characteristics, including the Easy Life drawer and detachable upholstery.
The new model proposes three multimedia systems to satisfy the needs of all its clients: Media Nav Evolution, Renault R-Link Evolution and the R & Go system, available from the range entry level. For the first time in its segment, Renault provides the "Blind Spot Warning” and the "Easy Park Assist" systems, both available on superior versions. For a unique acoustic experience, the optional versions include the premium quality Bose® Sound System.
