This is understandable: modern technologies that allow creating super-powerful engines or seriously reducing the weight of a car are not cheap. But after all, not only wealthy motorists want to own a coupe or convertible. There are many young people among the fans of such models. They do not need a car for a large family; a two-seater car is enough for them. But on a high-speed road car with a capacity of 300-500 liters. with., or even for a model of a class below, their funds are not enough. Therefore, affordable coupes and convertibles like the Mazda MX-5, Opel Tigra TwinTop or Peugeot 207CC appear. The latest innovation in this seg https://cars45.com.gh/listing/renault/wind ment is the Renault Wind coupe-cabriolet. Translated from English, its name means "wind". In terms of its dimensions, the Wind is comparable to the B-class model: its length reaches 3833 mm, width - 1689 mm, height - 1381 mm, and a wheelbase - 2368 mm. The convertible uses the platform of Renault's smallest model, the Twingo hatchback. Small dimensions - a guarantee of low weight: the basic version weighs only 1131 kg. Proof of Wind's affinity with Twingo is not easy to find: the two cars are radically different in design. The convertible can be called a real lightweight athlete. It features a taut profile with very small body overhangs and swollen wheel arches. Following the example of the 1972 Renault 5 hatchback, the door handles are hidden, and only small buttons are visible. From the front, Wind resembles a small predatory animal. The "smile" of its air intake in the bumper is decorated with two silvery "fangs", and large headlights make its "look" expressive and memorable. The C-pillars stretch the flesh all the way to the "stern", which appears to be a little cropped. A small spoiler crowns it. The extended rear fenders are accentuated by the L-shaped headlamps. The only thing that stands out from the general style is the overly massive rear bumper. Although, most likely, its installation is dictated by security requirements. The main feature of the coupe-convertible is its metal roof. The engineers went by way of simplifying the design, so it consists of only one part. The folding mechanism is also interesting: when you press the button, the roof turns 180 degrees in 12 seconds and lies right under the trunk lid. Thus, the volume of the luggage compartment is not reduced - it is 270 liters. To get to it, you need to open the lid along with the metal top. This procedure is not at all difficult, because the roof is very light - together with the entire mechanism, it weighs only 22 kg. The fact is that the rear pillars do not fold, but serve as safety arches. It turns out a combination of a coupe-convertible and a targa. The interior of the car may seem quite small in appearance, but in fact it is quite spacious. There is more than enough space even for very tall people. The driver's seat has a wide range of settings and this partially compensates for the lack of reach adjustment at the steering column. It should be noted that Wind chairs have very good lateral support. They are made in a sporty style - with integrated head restraints. For a surcharge, they can be sheathed with leather. Landing behind the wheel is quite low, from which the visibility to the front and to the sides suffers somewhat. And the thick rear pillars and very small rear window severely limit rearward visibility. There is no armrest between the seats, but there is room to put, for example, a purse. In addition, there is a small shelf behind the backs of the chairs. Renault Wind offers a choice of two engines. The base is a 1.2-liter 100-horsepower turbocharged engine. It feels good in the middle rev range, because the maximum 152 Nm of torque is reached from 3500 rpm. The Quartet is distinguished by a very cheerful character, but at the same time it is quite quiet. Acceleration to 100 km / h takes 10.5 seconds, and the maximum speed is 190 km / h. At the same time, fuel consumption is more than acceptable: 8.0 l / 100 km in the urban cycle and 5.3 l / 100 km in the suburban cycle. For those looking for more immersive driving dynamics, there is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine https://cars45.com.gh/listing/renault/wind
