Renault Twin-Z concept (2013) first official pictures

Rated 4 out of 54

Ollie Kew, 08 April 2013 11:30

This is the Renault Twin-Z concept (say it 'Twin-Zee'). Although it packs the usual concept car madness of suicide doors, a pared-back cabin and LEDs everywhere, it actually previews the look – and drivetrain – of the next Renault Twingo.

This is the Toyota i-Road, a tiny concept car that will be officially unveiled at the 2013 Geneva motor show tomorrow. It's a two-seater, three-wheeled electric city car that Toyota reckons is the future of urban motoring.

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 25 February 2013 09:00

BMW’s pioneering i3 electric car is one of the most exciting cars of 2013.
