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.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
look like that old honda also got like this…
oh, a one piece folding metal roof, no wonder they could do it so fast.
looks like an evolved version of 207cc.
a very simple way to reinvent metal folding roof . hahaha .
really hope its a middle engine rwd for such a beauty car…..but its not
BEAUTIFUL CAR , its a genuine feel good car this , dont mind having one as a 2nd car cuz a z4 is still very2 expensive…
Pricing will be revealed in geneva…, but….malaysian tax kills off motoring passion and give rise to overkitted bling2 monstrosities…..
The back end and taillight look like one of the Proton cars. Lol.
Nice and cute renault to date.
nice~!!this is a really gud weekend car~~
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.
perfect car for the girls
Neo.S … Girl .. Singular .. They are only 2 seats .. :-)
I'd buy one of these…..provided its a enthusiast's car and provides the thrill of driving….
If it is price below RM 120K, cheaper than 207cc with 1.4 turbo engine produce about 150PS , then possible to sell liek 1000 unit a year….
THe front look nothing special but the real look good,
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.

huh???!!! almost fainted……………………………………………….
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!
Nice and cute…cant wait to see it on road

yeah burn a hole in your pocket when it comes to reselling.
