Manufacturer Press Release
|
Renault is unveiling its new Nepta concept car, a four-seater cabriolet with
fluid lines and a thoroughbred profile. The low-slung body shape is an
expression of elegance and movement, while the spacious and comfortable
interior has all the hallmarks of a top-end model. Nepta is a dynamic four-seater
GT cabriolet, offering performance at the wheel that is worthy of a prestige
sedan.
An attractive and dynamic cabriolet
This flowing, elegant four-seater cabriolet is an expression of Renault's
vision of driving pleasure. The wave-shaped side panels give an impression
of fluidity and highlight Nepta's long body shape; an effect that is further
enhanced by the special anodic aluminium colour treatment on the lower part
of the body shell, the mud flaps and the front and rear spoilers.
The front end is simple yet expressive. The LED headlights are made up of
three assemblies: the daytime running lights, the dipped and main beam
headlights and the steering lights. The headlights use a technology based on
the reflection and propagation of light. The light beam from the main
headlights is reflected by crystal-shaped transparent blocks that are
electronically controlled for more precise lighting. The quantity and
distribution of the light automatically adapts to the driving conditions.
The rounded forms of the front wings are enhanced by the innovative
boomerang-shaped indicator lights, positioned at the top of the lighting
units.
The long and tapered rear end, which is punctuated by the crystals of the
rear lights, adds a further sense of movement to Nepta. The overhang is
longer at the rear than at the front, highlighting the vehicle's attractive
proportions and flowing line. Nepta is an echo of the golden age of
automotive styling, while remaining resolutely modern and innovative. Nepta
is a combination of the dream car and the love of fine mechanical
engineering. The motor-driven gull wing doors open to reveal the interior
and the engine, which is elegantly housed in its compartment. The centrally
positioned door hinges are covered by polished aluminium panels representing
a shooting star that runs the full length of the front bonnet, contributing
to the impression of movement that the body shell creates.
A luxuriously welcoming and roomy interior
Nepta boasts all the features found in prestige models with discreet
technology for greater on-board comfort. The dashboard appears to be
suspended, while the extensions of the windscreen illuminate the pedal unit
and make for a bright and clear driving station.
The rev counter and cone-shaped instruments are surrounded by leather trim.
The design of the instruments pays tribute to vehicles of the past, while
the aluminium treatment adds a modern touch. The combination of analogue and
digital displays is a further expression of classic cars and the modern era.
The air conditioning controls located at each end of the dashboard can be
independently adjusted by each occupant and combine advanced technology and
ease of use.
The intuitive controls are inspired by the Touch Design approach. The
centrally-mounted, rotary gear shift is easy and comfortable to use. The
conveniently positioned multimedia information controls can be easily
reached, while the stalk switches and control paddles mounted on the
steering wheel are designed to match the shape of the driver's hands. The
seats are fixed, but the steering wheel and the pedals can be adjusted by a
motor-driven mechanism to match the driver's dimensions.
The dashboard features special storage compartments for glasses and other
personal objects, while the central console also has a sliding cubby located
between the rear seats.
The red leather upholstery creates an impression of continuity between the
vehicle interior and the engine compartment. Both bench seats are coated
with leather decorated with printed patterns. The four comfortable seats are
secured to the floor by aluminium struts reminiscent of sailing boats.
DVD screens with folding protective covers are installed in the upper
sections of the backs of the front seats. The lower sections are decorated
with elegant leather netting that is ideal for storing magazines. The rear
passengers are protected against turbulence by the transparent air
deflectors positioned between the front and rear seats.
A powerplant designed for pleasure
Nepta's longitudinally mounted 3.5-liter V6 petrol engine is the embodiment
of pleasure at the wheel. This 420hp powerplant takes just 4.9 seconds to
reach 100kph from a standing start. Coupled to the seven-speed automatic
gearbox with flick-shift controls mounted on the steering wheel, this direct
injection petrol engine combines an outstanding drive with a significant
reduction.
