# Shimmering Eco Concept Cars The Renault Twin'Z Gives a Glimpse into the Future of the Twingo By Michael Hines | Published 2013-04-10 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twinz References: [carbuzz](http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2013/4/8/Renault-Reveals-Twin-Z-Concept-7713782/) & [renault](http://www.renault.com/Pages/index.aspx) Those who can't wait to see the next-generation version of the Renault [Twingo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept) are going to want to check out the Renault Twin'Z. This [electric concept car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r32ev-concept-model) was designed by Ross Lovegrove and is a design study meant to give a glimpse at the company's forthcoming iteration of its ultra-popular hot hatch. The Twin'Z has an electric engine good for 67 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque. Its top speed is rated at 50 mph and it weighs in at under 2,200 pounds. The Renault Twin'Z has four suicide doors and no B-pillars, a feature which allows for more interior space. The tires are [Michelin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiat-600e-abarth) and are made from a special rubber. There's a solid chance that the new Twingo will look nothing like the Renault Twin'Z, but the futuristic look and lack of B-pillars may be features which carry over into the new incarnation of the now-iconic hot hatch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Electric Concept Cars:** Exploring the use of electric engines in concept cars for improved performance and sustainability. - **Futuristic Car Design:** Incorporating unique features like suicide doors and lack of B-pillars to create a futuristic aesthetic in car design. - **Interior Space Optimization:** Maximizing interior space in cars by eliminating B-pillars and exploring innovative seating arrangements. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Industry:** Opportunity to revolutionize the automotive industry by introducing electric concept cars with futuristic designs. - **Tire Manufacturing Industry:** Innovation in tire manufacturing by developing special rubber for improved performance in electric concept cars. - **Auto Interior Design Industry:** Opportunity to reimagine interior design in cars by optimizing space and introducing unique seating arrangements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Semi-Transparent Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept.md) - [Transparent Modern Auto Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-1.md) - [Electric Five-Door Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fivedoor-cars.md) - [Charged Electric Hatchbacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r5-turbo.md) - [Adaptive Interior EV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-scenic-etech-electric.md) - [Near-Future Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-clio-vi.md) - [Next-Gen Safety SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-symbioz-hybrid-suv.md) - [Electric City-Friendly Microcars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-mini.md) - [Electric License-Free City Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citron-la-2-deuche-concept.md)
