The new Renault Laguna Coupé is on display at the Paris Motor Show.

Earlier this year at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival Renault released its latest surprise. The new Renault Laguna Coupé was unveiled for the worlds media and celebrity guests at the festival. Now, in Paris, the new Coupé is on display at the motor show for the first time.

Renault President, Carlos Ghosn, gave Renault Laguna Coupé its first public airing at last May’s Festival International du Film in Cannes. The same weekend saw Renault Laguna Coupé make a guest appearance around the legendary circuit of the Monaco Grand Prix in the hands of ING Renault F1 Team’s test drivers to provide a dynamic demonstration of its sporting credentials.

This new Laguna is the pinnacle of the Laguna range, one of the best selling models in the Renualt protfolio. The athletic and dynamic shape of the new design are an indication of the sporty and responsive feel that comes with the new design.

This new model features the incredible 4Control chassis with four-wheel steering that has been widely acclaimed by European media on the GT version of Renault Laguna. The rear wheels assist in steering depending on the speed of the vehicle. At slow speeds they improve the turning circle while at higher speeds they help gilde through corners.

The racy front vents and angles hint to the availability under the bonnet of the Alliance’s star powerplants, which have been designed and developed to ensure driving enjoyment. In addition to the existing 2.0-litre petrol and diesel versions, the launch of this image-forging model sees the introduction of two new V6 powerplants. The brand new V6 dCi, which promises to become a benchmark in terms of performance and driving pleasure, delivering peak power of 235hp, while the new petrol-fuelled 3.5 V6 gives out 240hp.

The emphasis of the interior design is on refined quality, the best that the French can offer. Listening to music is a pleasure on the new integrated Bose® Sound System.

Renault Laguna Coupé’s design has a great deal in common with the dynamic, racy concept car revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2007, including elegant styling and proportions which boast all the hallmarks of a truly exceptional coupé. (Source: Renault Media)
