Frankfurt 2009: Renault goes Twizy (with Zoe and Fluence and Kangoo)
Renault Zero Emission line-up - Click for high-res image gallery
The more we see of Renault's all-electric line-up that is on display at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the more we want to hang out at company cocktail parties. Something delicious and potent must be on tap there. From the elegant and unexpected lines of the Zoe (above, note the recycle logo) to the buggy quirkiness of the Twizy, Renault is displaying some truly fun-looking electric cars here. Now if only these things were available to drive off the lot today, we'd really be getting somewhere. As we said yesterday when we got Renault's official pics, these cars demand a second look in high-res. Have at it in the gallery below. While you do, we'll hunt down more information on Renault's Quickdrop battery exchange station and what role Better Place has with the technology.

Why does that car remind me of a pair of tennis shoes? Something about it makes me want to put it on my foot and go for a run.

Zoe? Yes, please!! :)
I wonder how much will production version change. I hope they change the steering wheel in all of the cars. It's plain ugly.
And yeah, driving off with one of this today would be a real treat.

For the Zoe, i expect the door to be shorter and to have a small window in the back (it will be probably 3 door). The colour coding will but uniform i guess and the excessive curves will be smoothened out.

Batteries will become more efficient on the whole and their price will drop, whereas the oil will simply go up and up as it becomes more scarce. As simple as that.
