2007 Geneva Motor Show: Renault range evolutions

There are fresh developments among existing models, with the arrival of the Clio Rip Curl, Clio Renault F1 Team R27, Scénic Conquest, Mégane Renault Sport dCi and Espace Tech Run

The Clio Rip Curl invites you to step into a world of fun and freedom. Designed in partnership with the renowned surf and snowboard specialist Rip Curl, the Clio's dynamic, appealing lines are complemented by special Iceberg Blue paint and 16-inch alloy wheels. The interior has a sporting feel too, with its bright red and contrasting deep black trim. It is comfortable and practical - the ideal environment for whenever you want to get away from it all. The Clio Rip Curl features a range of equipment tailored to those who love outdoor sports, with rubber floor protection and a rigid, sand- and snow-resistant boot box.

The Clio Rip Curl is also 100% dedicated to music, with an Audio Connection Box that allows portable MP3 players to be linked to the stereo system. It is available with two environmentally friendly engines: the TCE 100hp and 1.5 dCi 65 hp FAP are packed with innovations and succeed in being fun to drive, economical and low in emissions. The Clio Rip Curl marks the beginning of a long-term partnership between Renault and Rip Curl, an association that promises to evolve over the coming years.

When the latest Renault R27 Formula One car was launched, Renault Sport Technologies used the occasion to introduce Clio Renault F1 Team R27. It was a unique opportunity to celebrate the company's back-to-back world championship titles while offering driving enthusiasts an entry into the world of Formula 1. With its red brake calipers, new Sirius Yellow paintwork and exclusive Renault F1 Team and World Champion logos, this limited-edition Clio is instantly identifiable as Mégane Renault F1 Team's smaller sibling. Inside, the Recaro seats and numbered plaque leave you in no doubt about the car's unique character and serious sporting credentials. Standing purposefully on its 17-inch wheels, Clio Renault F1 Team features a 'Cup' chassis to generate extra performance and make it even more fun at the wheel.

Scénic Conquest has been designed to help owners make the most of their leisure time. Its rugged front and rear styling resembles that of an off-roader. With its raised ride height and strengthened suspension, the chassis has been adapted to suit all kinds of terrain. Scénic Conquest is available with a choice of 2.0 16V 135hp petrol or 1.9 dCi 130hp diesel power (plus, in some markets, the 1.6 16V 110hp petrol and 1.5 dCi 105hp diesel). Its extensive range of standard equipment includes rear parking proximity sensors, alloy wheels, longitudinal roof bars and, on 2.0 16V and 1.9 dCi versions, an electronic stability program (ESP).

Mégane Renault Sport dCi makes its debut at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show and completes Renault's sporting range with a high-performance diesel. Designed to make daily driving a pleasure rather than a chore, the Mégane Renault Sport dCi will appeal to those who appreciate reasonable running costs. Its 2.0 dCi 175hp engine and manual six-speed gearbox give it the kind of driver appeal worthy of the best petrol-powered sports saloons, yet it also has startling fuel economy - 6.5 litres/100km on a combined cycle. The chassis features the front and rear suspension from Mégane Renault Sport, which guarantees cutting-edge handling. A Mégane Cup chassis is available as an option, for those who seek an even more sporting manner.

Espace Tech Run is a limited edition model that targets technologically-minded families. It features a triple helping of new technology: for music lovers, there's a 4x30W MP3 compatible CD Radio with Audio Connection Box (for USB and iPod® connectivity); for cinema buffs there's a DVD-DivX player with two seven-inch screens, one in the back of each front headrest; and movies can be heard through infra-red headphones, which are also compatible with younger passengers' favourite console games. Espace Tech Run has a distinctive identity, with special design details both inside and out - Renault.
