The Renauly Captur Tokyo Edition Can Only Be Pre-Ordered on Social Media

— October 16, 2018 — Autos
French car manufacturer Renault launched a limited-edition Renault Captur Tokyo edition SUV to honor the Japanese capital. This model from Renault undoubtedly has youthful appeal and to make sure the car is seen by the right audiences, Renault created its own anime-style Instagram Stories series dubbed 'Tokyo Stories' and is only giving people the chance to pre-order the model by Facebook Messenger chatbot.

Just 100 of the limited-edition Renault car have been made and people who are interested in getting behind the wheel of the car will need to interact with a mysterious character in a red suit who is introduced in the Tokyo Stories.

The Renault Captur Tokyo itself is decked out with a Kumo pattern, an embellished roof and mirror covers.
