2010 Renault Wind Coupe Convertible: Geneva Motor Show

2010 Renault Wind Covertible

French automaker Renault will unveil a brand new hard-top convertible based on its Twingo hatchback at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. The new cruiser is dubbed the Wind and is definitely off-limits for the U.S. market.

The Renault Wind will measure 12.5 feet in length and will feature an innovative way of opening up–an electric roof that pivots open in just 12 seconds and affords the Wind its sleek profile. Despite its compact dimensions, the Renault Wind is also the only car in its class to provide just as much luggage space whatever the position of the roof.

Under the hood, the Wind will feature a turbocharged four-cylinder engine displacing just 1.2-liters and producing up to 100 horsepower. This is enough to accelerate the drop-top from 0-100 kmph in a leisurely (read boring) 11 seconds, which is on par with rivals like the Peugeot 207 CC and Nissan Micra C+C.

The Renault Wind is slated to be unveiled for the first time on March 2, 2010 in Geneva.
