TheRenault Trezor is a two-seater electricconcept car with autonomous capabilities built byRenault which was unveiled at the2016 Paris Motor Show. The car secured the Festival Automobile International's Most Beautiful Concept car of the Year 2016 award. The car was expected to become a commercial product by 2020.[1][2][3]
The car's lack of visible seams is largely due to the use of itsclamshell style roof which opens up to allow passengers to enter the interior. The single piece canopy opens by hinging forward on struts. The car also uses a carbon-fiber chassis and a wooden frame under the bonnet, which was built with German bicycle manufacturer Keim, to function as a luggage rack.[1][4][5][6] It had to carry on the legacy of theDeZir, extreme beauty and economy while sacrificing top speed.The car has adrag coefficient of 0.22 which makes it one of the most aerodynamically efficient cars in the world.[citation needed] The exterior lighting signature of the car changes when switched to autonomous mode. The car rides on 21 inch front and 22 inch rear wheels with gaps between spokes in the shape of theEiffel Tower, besides carbon-fiber scoops to aid in brake cooling.[2][7][8]
The car has an electric motor developing 260 kW (349 hp) and 380 N⋅m (280 lb⋅ft) torque, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than four seconds. The car has two battery packs with independent cooling systems optimized by variable geometry honeycomb shaped air intakes in front. The car has a brake operatedenergy recovery system, developed from the Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS) technology developed forFormula E cars.[1][4]
The interior and the windshield of the car are colored red. The car also has an OLED touchscreen covered withGorilla Glass on both the center console and steering wheel. The steering wheel is rectangular and can extend in width when the vehicle is in autonomous mode to give the driver a panoramic view of the dashboard.[3][7]
