Both feature black metallic backgrounds with white graphics and red backlighting.
RENAULT MEGANE 2008 PLUS
This embedded zone houses the sophisticated instrumentation which takes its inspiration from aviator-style watches, including a speedometer which displays the speed in analogue form on the periphery and in digital form in the centre, plus an analogue rev-counter. The futuristic, ethereal dashboard features expressive, flowing lines and can be divided into two distinct sections: the red lacquered main structure and black nubuck inserts which can hold small items. The centre console extends through to the rear seats and its layered design recalls the striated bar of the headlamp modules. This sculptural, one-piece structure, which is finished in fire red lacquer, ensures a seamless link between the exterior and the cabin. The aperture revealed by the open doors carries over to the front seat shells and the upper part of the two rear seats. Their wafer-like forms express an airy lightness, while their enveloping design is a pledge of comfort and holds the occupants firmly in place. The independent, asymmetric front seats, which rise up from the sills, seem to float in midair. The interior is redolent of the world of contemporary furniture. The cabin: a compelling extension of the exterior's dynamic voluptuousness In addition to its practical aspect, this technological feature reveals a cabin that blends effortlessly with the elegance and energy expressed by the exterior. A carbon arm at the rear of the doors connects them to the body structure and the system ensures particularly easy access for passengers. The panelled door itself is topped by a separate glazed area and, as they open, the two parts deploy gracefully and elegantly in an independent movement redolent of dragonfly wings. The boot, which pulls open and then lifts to minimize vertical travel, echoes the kinematics of the doors which are divided into two sections. Day or night, they form a highly distinctive signature. The four independent tubes that make up the modern rear lights are housed in the bodywork and serve as a further illustration of the dynamic, technological spirit behind Mégane Coupé Concept. The shoulder-lines flow along the curvaceous sides before culminating in a squat rear-end which expresses power and movement. The foglamps also employ LED technology and blend harmoniously with the dynamic, front-end styling. The headlamps use high-performance light-emitting diodes which are both long-lasting and extremelyĮfficient.
The two rows of main and dipped beam lights sit on a crystal-like striated strip which fills the sidelight and daytime running light functions. The juxtaposition of headlamp modules with aluminium-finish air-intakes also conveys an impression of fluidity and movement. Of a total length of 4.51 metres, Mégane Coupé Concept features a modern, dynamic silhouette with taut lines that seem to suggest perpetual movement, while its alert, expressive front-end looks point at once to a truly dynamic personality. The spectacular, unprecedented door-opening kinematics add that little touch of magic which contributes to the dream factor associated with the automobile," explains Renault's Patrick Le Quément, Senior Vice President, Corporate Design. Its squatter proportions and powerful, energetic styling talk directly to the driver's senses they say 'driving pleasure'. "This show car emphatically showcases the evolution at Renault Design. Mégane Coupé Concept provides a foretaste of the forthcoming Mégane Coupe.
Distinctive looks that exude personality and dynamism
