Designed and manufactured in France, Renault Laguna Coupé Monaco GP ranks among the best Sports Cars in its class for quality and stands out as a flagship for Renault's highend range. Two years after the first public appearance of Laguna Sports Car Coupé round Monaco's legendary race track, this limited edition version – the run of which is restricted to just 400 units – celebrates the long-standing partnership that exists between the brand and the Automobile Club de Monaco.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyCH_16bYBB3eWhb4CeDToN7zTqKheEdtUW9snv2TEtOZMz3HLFkMuLHnJ4-7fBFAlN1Az5WeyAAm3slAMm2FCu1vHwm6XoIkYlb3Sv75aiIKHwFgppvT0ywZ1zpQasIZu5lZklMAnO4A/s400/2010-Renault-Laguna-Sports-Car-Coupe-Monaco-GP-4.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Available with a choice of four DPF-equipped diesel powertrains (dCi 150 with either sixspeed manual or automatic transmission, dCi 180 with six-speed manual gearbox or 3.0 V6 dCi 235 with six-speed automatic transmission) and one petrol engine (3.5 V6 240 with six-speed automatic transmission).

This groundbreaking innovation attracts customers who seek to benefit from the advantages of four-wheel steering. The nimble handling provided by the 4Control chassis both in built-up areas and on twisty roads out of town is worthy of that of a small city car (it has the same turning circle as a Clio). At the same time, the system guarantees exceptional stability, plus the road holding ability of a sporting car, not to mention unrivalled safety, e.g. when taking avoiding action or when braking in difficult conditions (asymmetric grip on slippery surfaces, optimized ESC calibration).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHEqhcrx8ljtPsT3IoDQmfFLK6jcOgTKtMyvo7dxlgtG-6-DzcjDXvIgfTYw6watOl-lspL0Jezj23pV1ZBqCvvou-fyeQatSlzOSj2XTeND2rNB_XvdGa-lQCVuvSHjJ6Jn6JWSLfZqc/s400/2010-Renault-Laguna-Sports-Car-Coupe-Monaco-GP-8.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">All the available diesel engines are equipped with a particulate filter and comply with Euro5 legislation.

Mated to the six-speed manual gearbox, it returns appreciably low combined cycle fuel consumption of just 5.7 litres/100km (equivalent to CO2 emissions of 149g/km). Versions with six-speed automatic transmission combine punch and response, yet remain very affordable.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgjSqXhA1-zaisrtcYqCfLgDmik5G0FwpG5RqYYPv5jc5iDgjewbibo9MuwN8Uk8LBgokht1hLiSsFupFZ88s6CFfmCZ837ygUohRL5YxtoGzkbEMbhNnIgumxBG-P2nDEJmdpe8QZg1g/s400/2010-Renault-Laguna-Sports-Car-Coupe-Monaco-GP-7.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">- The sportier, more powerful and torquier dCi 180 (131kW) powerplant stands out as a surprisingly attractive compromise for its class. With 400Nm of torque available from as low as 2,000rpm, it accelerates crisply and smoothly, and contributes to the impeccable directional stability of the 4Control chassis. Even so, its combined cycle fuel consumption remains contained at 6.2 litres/100km (163g of CO2/km).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSKS7QEmeGpbQmHOEwo3Znq62t_Aie1jPLlWK4JQ1_kxICGw8TJcTwXPl-DYZclsRVRSIcclRtxFrE2iv8fVVdSQwj5FXt5-PyTkVHsnEErDbe7ljozTORTF9V1paunfztRlYoYAFUOl4/s400/2010-Renault-Laguna-Sports-Car-Coupe-Monaco-GP-3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">- The top end of the range naturally features the 3.0 V6 dCi 235 which drives through a six-speed automatic transmission. This three-litre block (2,993cc) stands out as a benchmark in terms of its dynamic performance, driving pleasure and silent ride. Peak power is 235hp (173kW), while maximum torque stands at 450Nm. Thanks to these vital statistics, Renault Laguna Sports Car Coupé V6 dCi 235 accelerates from standstill to 100kph in 7.3 seconds, yet its combined cycle fuel consumption does not exceed 7.2 litres/100km (189g of CO2/km). Special attention has been paid, too, to its acoustic performance: in addition to its silence at normal speeds, a perceptible bark when accelerating and during transient phases irresistibly suggests performance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR60xuzuGle7moPVTjgp519eHU6nIdBDtby1hoXgckPMlkEcz68QNNpVZxLyPzrbbqRjYD9Br5f1O1C_o3gf5PZ7kW5CtA4TjECkBnBpZzHZvgWIlHB5HP1hl1geA1gLlpPgdZc2IdUPQ/s400/2010-Renault-Laguna-Sports-Car-Coupe-Monaco-GP-9.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 240-horsepower (175kW) 3.5 V6 petrol engine delivers maximum torque of 330Nm at 4,400rpm. It drives through the same six-speed automatic transmission as the V6 diesel and covers the 1,000-metre standing start in 27.6 seconds.

2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Sports Car Spider Concept

Pininfarina turns 80 years-old this year. As part of celebrating this important milestone the company will unveil this two-seater spider concept pictured here at the <b>2010 Geneva Motor Show</b> in March. It will be presented as a tribute to its long relationship with Alfa Romeo. The unveiling coincides with Alfa's 100th anniversary so it is doubly fitting. The design has been managed by Lowie Vermeersch, head of Pininfarina’s style centre, and the rear reflects the old Alfa Romeo Duetto model, with its cuttlefish-bone inspiration.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY76HNbL5cj3SRk7xN3OokDBFzbRE98tmLY-jxmB8oX8lxelsliKCWSDst3gtl7JRsJpaP8uqfbHzhMOe1DSt4Xx5DK8srJeT0CgjJxX9_PVl_KlfPmJI6HYFV16VqZ5NWmaAkgsScIXE/s400/Pininfarina-Alfa-Romeo-Spider-Sports-Car-Concept-3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Spider Concept </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A revival of the Alfa Duetto is an exciting proposition, and the prototype will be the same two-seater Spider vehicle. It will have a longitudinal engine placed in the front and rear-wheel drive. No production plan has been established as yet, so we can’t say if this could be an eventual replacement to the current Alfa Spider.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLXNSJgUSwndizCl-DkmDGCCpfv8lMTqvb3MU174mtnNRaYmuu39p5FUxdsW7_6hoWPvJ9K5RHnz09McQKr8rjOczKNoPO45sriFPuQUwNVGaRrEDRZ0nw5NMzLACtv-3F0o7kTxvLvJM/s400/Pininfarina-Alfa-Romeo-Spider-Sports-Car-Concept-1.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Spider Concept </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apart from the obvious not much else is said or revealed about the car. But from this solitary sketch it can be noted that the current 8C Spider has some serious styling competition. The long sloping bonnet, two-door configuration and short rear overhangs are the main signs of a classic roadster. Whether this traditionalist approach will be kept intact with a soft folding roof remains to be seen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUDDts6U6oSbd9L9QXm7tzy3zJRTz16oY8fm-I9CkQgHh9CIUd2kt3hpDbgNA7dwDIk9T6hyphenhyphenln5xOOlSf54DjyfPzO_CtvAmaY1sAUddTwD_q-Cdu33KNNpeuQI6Ud1irHU7hQK-iFdMc/s400/Pininfarina-Alfa-Romeo-Spider-Sports-Car-Concept-2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Spider Concept </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps the Pininfarina/Alfa Romeo relationship is about to receive a new life.
