The Paris Auto Show, 2010 will see the unveiling of the DeZir concept coupe by Renault. It is a two-seater concept model and has gull wing doors which open in the opposite directions. This electric car will also be Renault’s new design head’s first product. The color scheme will be red and white.
According to the French Automakers, the DeZir marks a new beginning for a new breed of Renault concept cars. Renault plans to manufacture a series of concept cars which will be largely influenced by the DeZir. 
The new designs are primarily based on three key words- simple, warm and sensuous. Although Renault didn’t explain what DeZir exactly referred to, but we assume it stands for desire or desir in French. However, Renault did say that the “Z” stood for Renault’s Z.E series which is a symbol of zero emission vehicles.
Renault has made special efforts to keep the weight of the car to the minimum and for this they have used Kevlar for the body of DeZir. It weights a meager 1,830 pounds. It has been built on a cylindrical steel frame and has a double-wishbone suspension, just like the Megane Trophy race car. The tires are 245/35R21 and has a full under body fairing.
For an electric car, it is surprisingly powerful, emitting 148 horsepower and a torque of 167 pound feet. Renault seems to have come up with a great vehicle and the new design head Laurens van den Acker does make a strong statement with his first design with Renault.
