Rendering wiz Theophilus Chin has offered his take on what the new Renault Talisman would look like interpreted as a two-door coupe – the Renault Talisman Coupe is certainly bold and imaginative, but won’t see the light of day; the poor-selling Laguna Coupe was dropped from the automaker’s lineup a few years ago and another venture down the path is unlikely.
The imagined coupe is of course based on the new D-segment Renault Talisman, which made its debut last week. Based on Renault-Nissan’s Common Module Family architecture and sitting on a CMF-CD platform, the Talisman replaces both the European-centric Laguna and the ‘rest of the world’ Latitude as a single global D-segment offering in the brand’s line-up.
We won’t be seeing the 4.85 metre long sedan, which is assembled in Douai, France, in our part of the woods – word is that with limited market demand, Renault has reportedly decided it doesn’t make economic sense to build a right hand-drive version of the Talisman.
As for the Talisman name itself, that’s not new; the moniker was previously used on a Latitude for the Chinese market in 2012, and further back in history, a forward-thinking concept from 2001 also bore the same name.

Better get a Nissan, although they are same family. As I always said, you won’t go wrong with sushi cars.
370Z is better anyway.
not until that airbag exploded..
that Takata thing flattened my friend’s interest to buy a GTR.
It looks expensive… but I would still go for the japs
someone should hire his guy…
a bit sad to know that talisman is not gonna be made in right hand drive form. well maybe they want to position renault as a high-performance and a little left-field brand in asia perhaps?
anyway, it’s a shame coz talisman is really a good looking sedan.
