Renault Wind baby convertible to debut in Geneva

Renault Wind baby convertible to debut in Geneva

This is the Renault Wind baby convertible that will make its debut at the Geneva show next month. Taking the name of Renault’s 2004 Geneva show car, which was also similar in concept, this cute two-seater coupé-roadster “is aimed at motorists who lust after a car that is not only distinctive and compact, but also convertible and practical enough for everyday use”, says its maker.

Not much is known about the Wind at this point, other than it is 3.83 metres long and features a clever electric roof that does its magic in just 12 seconds. That’s really fast, about half the time that the Volkswagen Eos needs and 10 seconds faster than Renault’s own Megane CC. As a bonus, Renault claims a decent 270 litres of luggage space whether the top is up or down. It’s likely to share underpinnings and drivetrains with the Twingo.

Gallery is after the jump.

  • oh, a one piece folding metal roof, no wonder they could do it so fast.

    looks like an evolved version of 207cc.

    it's a good thing renault has improved much recently in its design language.

    at a certain angle, it looks almost similar to the RCZ when the top is closed.

    this car is a beauty, really!

    vive la renault et les autres vehicules du conti!!!

    Nice weekend or 2nd car, especially if one is staying at PD or Kuantan, driving with the roof down in the evenings.

    I'd say screw the folding top and put a gutsy engine in the middle of the car and make it RWD, then pass it to Renaultsport for chassis tuning. Then you got yourself a real car.

    But in reality that is not going to happen. So just pass the car to REnaultsport with Twingo's 133hp engine and let RS do the rest.

    although there nothing wrong to associate convertibles with being the "chicks car", i fail to see why most would label them as such and as if a guy who owns one "loses" his masculinity.

    if you've driven any convertible, notwithstanding the driver's gender, you'd get more attention than those driving sedans!
