Technical details

The Argos was powered by a Renault Twingo 1.2 L (1,239cc) 4-cylinder engine mated to an electronically controlled automatic transmission.[3] The Argos had a weight of only 750 kg (1,653 lb), which is very light for an automobile.

The structure and design of the car was quite innovative with such features as doors that opened by sliding aft to nestle in the rear fenders, no superstructure, roof or even windscreen to interrupt the lines and wing mirrors retract into front wings, and only deploy when engine is started.

Renault Argos est un concept car dessiné par Jean-Pierre Ploué sous la direction de Patrick Le Quément[1]. C'est un petit roadster léger de 750 kg à 3 places[2], dévoilé au public au salon de Genève de 1994[3]. Avec ce concept Renault a voulu rompre avec le bio-design. Présenté comme une étude de style, il n'a jamais eu pour vocation de préfigurer un véhicule de série.
