Honeycomb kind of texture here on the top.
Look how that opens up.
That’s mud.
How amazing is this car?
What’s up, guys?
It’s supercar blondie here in Paris and i am with the Renault Trezor
And i want to show you around this incredible car.So currently i’m in drive.
I’m just going to pull that back into park and then here’s how you turn the car off: start, start, stop button
And then you’ve got to actually pull your phone out.
This car is so special, you guys, that i’ve been trying to get a hold of this car for two years to show you what is going on.
I’ve just been looking at it on pictures and thinking i need to drive this car and this is one of the most advanced concept cars out there.
You know, sometimes you get concept cars that, uh, look incredible but they don’t actually drive.
This one is fully drivable.
Uh, it’s been tested on the track before.
It’s been driven through mountain ranges.
Zero to a hundred in less than four seconds.
Big shout out to my supercar Blondie family.
Thank you so so much for subscribing.
If you haven’t yet, just click the subscribe button below the video, because this is where you’re going to see the most incredible cars around the world.
Right, let’s get straight to it now.
I know when we do concept cars, sometimes you guys complain.
You’re like, oh, but it opens too slowly or whatever.
Right, check out how fast this closes.
Boom done.
Matter of seconds.
Isn’t that just crazy beautiful?
And then take a look at this honeycomb kind of texture here on the top.
Look how that opens up.
That’s mad.
I’ve never seen that before.
How beautiful does it look?
It’s not just for design, it’s actually for function.
Air Intake
This is actually designed as an air intake, so what it does is it throws air through the batteries here in the front.
So there are batteries here in the front and then batteries in the back.
This, when we open the top again, i’ll show you.
But this hexagonal kind of honeycomb effect runs through the whole car.
It’s here on the front.
It’s also on the tyres, which i’ll show you in just a Sec.
And then take a look at this.
This is a carbon fiber body that has the honeycomb shape all the way through.
That is incredibly beautiful.
I’ve never seen that before.
And this is just a design feature that they wanted to kind of pull the whole car together.
This is also crazy cool.
Taillights
This i’ve never seen before either.
These tail lights here.
Look how, first of all, this is a laser fiber, a light.
You see how you can touch them.
They’re all little beams running through here and then when you break, watch what happens: they actually move.
What did you see that?
What?
So you break and it does that.
Where have you ever seen that before?
That is so cool, you know.
I just love that they’re kind of thinking really outside the box with this car and the fact that it’s not just design, it is literally fully drivable, which is so, so cool.
Open up the top again and look how, when the top opens, these headrests automatically move back so that what you can get in easily, so the pedals here you can adjust to move towards you or back away from you, just with these buttons here.
You see that
And then i always have them as close as possible.
And just look how big the interior is.
They’re actually really proud of this interior.
It’s almost like when you open this canopy, it’s like opening a treasure box to see all of the, the beauty inside and the red they’ve chosen because it symbolizes romance and love, and just the lines on it are so sleek that it’s meant to be super romantic and all about, yeah, the, the future of, um, yeah, romance and sleek design.
So we’re just going to be falling in love with it.
Yeah, What are you saying?
Yeah, I am falling in love with it.
It’s so beautiful.
Um, we’re going to actually talk to Laurens, who’s the head, uh, designer here at Renault, and he’s going to join us shortly, so anything that i’ve missed, we’re going to pick his brains just to see why he has designed it in this way.
You see this honeycomb shape again running through the tires, and what’s cool about this tyre also is that it has two different types of rubber.
So you’ve got the hard rubber and also the soft rubber.
The cool thing about electric cars is that you get more storage space.
Instead of having this part be the engine, you’ve actually got all of this as storage.
This here is luggage.
So here and over here, you can either use this suitcase or you can bring your own.
We can actually take it out.
You know, take this one out fully.
I think i need there we go.
So look, so you can just carry that one around.
All right, cool.
So we’re gonna go for a bit of a drive.
I’ve already driven a bit today, but i want to show you internally, what happens when you, yeah, turn it off.
You’re fully like enclosed in this glass canopy and look at the vision.
You’ve got nothing in your way which i really, really like.
You see all the way around.
And, yeah, they’ve tinted it red so that you know it falls in line with the romantic theme of the car.
Okay, right, let’s start and now drive.
Okay, head rest, i’m gonna bring that forward a little bit.
You ready, ready, okay, when i lift my foot off the brake, it’s just gonna go.
So here we go, stopping the traffic.
Okay, zero to 100 in less than four seconds.
It’s a fast car.
Oh, i just love that.
This car is fully functional.
You know, you can literally drive this on the street.
That is so cool.
So so cool, you guys.
Hey, nice to meet you.
Thank you so much for having us here.
So this is Lauren’s everyone, and he is the man behind this incredible design.
It’s awesome.
When i see it outside, i kind of want to get in and drive.
Yeah, every time.
Right, because it’s been out for four years now, right, yeah, 16, 2016..
It was the kind of the start of a new generation of renaults, right, and we always want to start with a beautiful statement, you know, a design of beauty, but also telling a story of love, and i think you already covered this, right.
Right, i kind of got the romantic vibes from the car.
Yeah, The car is tells a story, and that’s always nice.
Even though you’ve had this out since 2016, every time you look at it you’re still kind of in Awe.
Right,
Yeah, It’s a superstar.
In fact, this car is traveling the world.
It’s- uh, It’s- the most famous car that we have at the moment.
It’s won every single price that you can imagine.
So what kind of prizes does it won, actually?
Well, there’s one villa destroyer.
It’s one shantae.
It’s won best concert car of the year in Geneva.
In fact, i think, any prize that you can imagine it.
It’s one of those.
It was the super model of the year.
It’s incredible, it’s like a celebrity, guys, and we get our hands on it today and i’m so happy to be able to show you this car.
Well, we wanted to tell a story of a feminine and a male side.
Because we’re a human brand, we want this car to look as human as possible.
Right, therefore, we have very essential shapes, because we feel this: com you know, humans are not square, we’re not, we don’t have edges, yeah, but at the same time, we wanted to give you a feminine and a masculine feeling.
Parametric Design
So the, the hexagonal shapes are masculine, right, this we’re using a new technology.
It’s called parametric design.
It’s uh, the computer in fact creates the surfaces, because you wouldn’t be able to design every single one.
Yeah, exactly, we chose for the masculine side, the hexagonals, and then for the feminine side, it’s all this and shiny and brilliant, and the sleek lines, yeah, and the two shapes are interlocking.
So it also gives you an impression of the male and the female.
Yeah, exactly, all the French, they know how to be romantic.
The opening is just like when you, when you’re, when you have somebody who proposes he opens up the box.
You know, this is why this whole car opens up like this.
Okay,
So i thought it was more like a treasure chest, but it actually it’s an engagement ring.
Exactly, it’s a treasure box.
This is why it’s a treasure.
That is so cool.
We put even in here a sign of two rings interlocking.
Oh, you didn’t, i didn’t even see that.
The idea is that if you sit inside and you push this ring, yeah, the car will switch to autonomous mode and you can enjoy your champagne together and you don’t have to drive.
So that’s so cool because we’re thinking: you know, if you want to drive, we can give you an awesome experience, but if you don’t want to drive, we give you the most relaxing experience.
So it’s not like you stop driving.
But, yeah, you know, there’s stages in life where i don’t like to drive.
But there’s many opportunities where, if you see a couple of curves coming up, you just switch back
And then you give you the best experience possible.
Something like this: is this doable on a Renault car today or very soon in the future?
Can we see these kind of design elements?
Never.
No, it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s easy to make.
Right, we’re gonna say.
But imagine if you damaged this.
What would happen?
Yeah, It would be a nightmare.
It’s just so costly.
Yeah, This is the difference between the concept car.
It’s.
It’s literally a supermodel that wears Ut Couture, you know, whereas the the impossible clothes that look good on stage, on them, on a, on a picture, but they wouldn’t be very practical in daily life.
Fair enough, what i’m really impressed with, Guys- and i said this before- is that this is a fully drivable, functional concept car, and you don’t get that very often, when concept cars look this good, they usually a don’t even drive, or they drive maybe five kilometers an hour.
Why do you guys make sure that the cars are fully drivable and can go, you know, 160- 170 kilometers an hour?
Yeah, We do it because we want to.
Uh, it looks really good on tv.
You know, love it.
We know what that’s about.
So you guys are working on something.
Now, right, yeah,
We’re always.
We’re always plenty of ideas.
You know there’s too many of ideas.
Yeah, two to go around.
Your brain is exploding.
If you want to see me review the next Renault concept cart-
This is Laurence’s instagram- go give him some love.
Say you’re here because you want me to review the next concept car and we can try and make it happen.
Let’s do this.
Let’s do it.
Is that a deal?
Yeah, rock and roll.
Yes, i love it.
I love it.
Okay, that’s it.
Peeps right, one day in Paris just to film with this incredible car.
Make sure to subscribe and click that little button as well, the little bell, because that’ll let you know as soon as one of these awesome cars has gone on my channel.
