2008 Paris Motor Show: Renault Ondelious Concept



Welcome aboard the Renault Mars Explorer Ondelious Concept. With a front end that resembles a whale shark swimming in Martian waters sucking in Martian Planktons, with one single huge gullwing door opening up for the front and rear passengers. With a 6 seater layout featuring all individual seats, this concept was meant to carry passengers across long distances with ease, with a CD figure of 0.29, driven by a 7 speed dual clutch transmission with power from a Hybrid drive, this is Renault's concept of a future all terrain, luxury cruiser. The unique part with the design is the seemingly one-bodied construction of the car, giving a smooth, seamless flow overall, which could pave way for creating more aerodynamic production vehicles should this construction technique be able adapt for mass production.

Each passenger would have their very own infotainment centers, and a dashboard that's dominated by a huge keyboard and number pad (LoL), this is Renault's take on how to recreate Business Class comfort in vehicles, for a long haul journey. Check out this yet another 'See you can, Buy you can't' concept from France.
