Renault DeZir

The Renault DeZir is a zero-emissions electric concept car that was first officially presented at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The car is a 2-seat coupe with butterfly doors and the interior is finished in red leather. The concept butterfly doors open like a conventional butterfly door on the driver's side and a Suicide door on the passenger's side.

Performance
The DeZir is powered by a mid-mounted electric motor producing 148 hp and 226 Nm of torque, with power sent to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. Renault claims the DeZir can accelerate from 0-60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 5 seconds, with a governed top speed of 112 mph. Renault claims a range of 99 mi.

Renault Sport R.S. 01


The Renault Sport R.S. 01 is a race car manufactured by Renault and is based on the DeZir. The car originally raced in Renault's own one-make series, the Renault Sport Trophy, and later raced in the Group GT3 classification.

Unlike the DeZir, the R.S. 01 has a petrol engine. It uses the 3.8-liter VR38DETT V6 by Nissan but has been slightly tuned by Nismo for track regulations, which can deliver up to 500 hp of power.
