TheRenault Altica is aconcept car made byRenault and was debuted at the2006 Geneva Motor Show.[1] The design of the car is a 3-door 4-seatershooting-brake.[2] The Altica has a luggage capacity of 1,300 litres and four seats, and also featuresbutterfly doors.
Although the car emits a low 140 kg/km CO2 emissions for its class (also due to its aerodynamics and a rear feature called "Synthetic Jet"),[3] the Renault Altica is able to accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 7.5 seconds[4] and its 2.0 litrediesel produces 177 bhp (132 kW; 179 PS) and 380 N⋅m (280 lb⋅ft) of torque.[5]
The Synthetic Jet is a patented aerodynamic device that consists of a 2 mm wide slot located at the extreme rear of the roof. Through this slot air is alternately sucked and blown to control the separation of air depending on the Altica's speed. At 80 mph (128.7 km/h) it is claimed that the Synthetic Jet reduces the Altica'sCd by 15% resulting in improved fuel economy.
