Renault teamed up with industrial designer Ross Lovegrove to design its Twin’Z concept for the 2013 Milan Triennale.
Renault’s design team did the penned the shape of the car, while Lovegrove added the bumpers, lights, grilles, the LED roof, wheels. He was also responsible for the styling of the interior.
The front bares a striking resemblance to the Twingo with dual round, small headlights. The rear shows the 5 inspiration with a large pane of glass hung diagonally. There is no B-pillar, and the doors are hinged in the front and rear so that they open to expose the entire interior. It is still quite a small car, though, at 3.62m long.
Lovegrove’s biggest addition to the project is the expanse of LED lighting along the roof and rear. It stars at green at the front, changes to blue along the spine and ends as red for the taillights. The look is also brought to the front with white LEDs in the grill.
He brought the LEDS inside as well, and they cover nearly every part of the interior. The interior layout has been simplified to the point of abstraction. There is a tablet for the instruments and a second for the HVAC controls and infotainment.
Mechanically, the Twin’Z is an electric city car with a rear-mounted 68hp motor and batteries located under the floor.
The 18in wheels are unique pieces made by Michelin. They combine the wheel and tire into a single unit.
