Renault Laguna Coupe: Details and Photos
Renault has unveiled the coupe version of its third generation Renault Laguna at the 61st Festival International du Film de Cannes, or better known to us at the Cannes Film Festival. A few engines are available - the same as the sedan and estate’s range, but with a coupe body the highlight will be the relatively high powered V6 engines.
The petrol V6 engine puts out 240 horsepower and 330Nm of torque from 3.5 liters of normally aspirated displacement, while the V6 dCi engine produces 235 horsepower but so much more torque at 450Nm.
Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 2.0 liter petrol and 2.0 liter DCi turbodiesel inline-4 engines are also available.
Despite being a 2-door, the execution of the coupe body on this Laguna doesn’t seem as sleek as some 4-door cars such as the Jaguar XF. The roofline bulges out a tad too high, but who knows, the car may look better in real life. The Laguna Coupe has a wheelbase of 2690mm, a height of 1400mm, a width of 1830mm and a length of 4640mm.

I beg ur pardon —Luxurious*
the back tail of the car should be widen a bit so that it does not look like some sort of creature’s tail pointing up.

The best Renault ever in terms of design

Looks much better than the bloated nose of its Pug 407 Coupe competitor.
Unfortunately, the gap left by the pininfarina designed 406 Coupe is still left unfilled. Damn nice looking car, even 10 years in.

v8 vantage look alike… the front design turns me off anyway… i expect Clarkson to say, “french lacks of passion in designing cars coz they eat French Fries everyday!”

well designed !

OMG … from the awesome concept … this is all they came up with? Audi launched the TT concept in 1995 and bamm in 1998 they produce the exact same thing, then they came up with the Audi Lemans concept and bamm 2 years later the R8, then they have the Q7 concept and launch the exact car, why cant other manufacturers do the same thing? I dont mean BMW’s cheating M3 and M5 concept ….
