Renault Twingo Concept Unveiled at Paris Motor Show
By HSPN News covering Renault | Published  09/28/2006 | Renault , European Manufacturers , September , 2006 Archive | Rating:
An Innovative, Sporty and Stylish Small Car - continued
The central part of the dashboard has an analogue speedometer which sits above a 15-inch retractable, folding monitor which, for safety reasons, can only be deployed when the car is at a standstill. Behind this screen are all the functions of a computer that permit passengers to log on to the Internet, while a web cam is incorporated into the screen to remain in visual contact with the outside world.

In an assertion of personality and originality, Twingo Concept’s interior comes with its own "light show". With the car at rest and the multimedia mode activated, the cabin is bathed in a blue, high-tech glow. When the driver presses the start button and the engine kicks in, the dominant hue automatically shifts to Renault yellow to energize the cabin with a sportier feel.

Twingo Concept accommodates its four occupants in independent bucket seats with built-in headrests that provide first class comfort and support. The night-blue fabric of the upholstery contrasts with the sophisticated white of the seats' structure which echoes the cabin’s colour scheme by emitting shafts of yellow light. All seats have individual jack plugs so that each occupant can listen to his or her favourite music.



The small steering wheel with flattened lower section falls naturally to hand. It bristles with technology, including an array of controls for mobile systems, as well as a microphone for e-conferencing over a Bluetooth connection. The large, ergonomically designed rev-counter is located on the steering column in the driver’s line of sight. Its unique graphic design ensures optimal clarity.

Passengers can stow and chill cans of energy drinks in a purpose-designed compartment in the boot. Twingo Concept is a trendy car conceived for enjoying and sharing music. When the rear hatch is open, its built-in speakers face outwards so that when the DJ gets mixing on the deck the partying can continue well into the night.
