Renault Megane Hellcat rendering
Spy photos are showing Renault is preparing a nip and tuck for the Megane RS, but that certainly won’t involve stuffing a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 HEMI engine under the bonnet. The fastest front-wheel-drive car at the Nürburgring already has plenty of punch from its 1.8-litre turbo delivering 275 bhp, and jumping to 707 bhp would be way too much for that chassis. Nevertheless, here’s the purely hypothetical Megane Hellcat with its dual-vented bonnet, beefy wheel arches, and a massive front splitter.
Fiat 500 RS rendering
We’re sure some would enjoy the idea of an even hotter derivative developed by Renault Sport. Taking inspiration from the Megane R.S., the mean city car gets a widebody kit and massive 19-inch wheels along with the Sirius Yellow paint scheme and chequered flag lights motif of the French hot hatch. It’s also slammed to the road with virtually no ground clearance to give it an angrier attitude enhanced by the big diffuser and roof spoiler at the back.
Renault Talisman SRT rendering
A widebody, high-performance midsize saloon from a mainstream brand probably has no place in the European market where the Renault Talisman continues to be eclipsed by the VW Passat. Still, that can’t stop us from dreaming of an insane SRT derivative with a gargantuan 6.2-litre V8 and a roof scoop for the Hemi to breathe better. Larger wheels and a lowered ride height would be on the menu as well, along with chunky air intakes and a boot lid spoiler.
Ram Z.E. rendering
Fully electric pickups are somewhat of a novel idea, although it’s only a matter of time before these will become widespread. The petrol-guzzling Ram truck forgoes its big and thirsty American V8 in favour of a zero-emissions powertrain taking advantage of Renault’s EV expertise. Some aero-friendly wheels and a paint scheme inspired by the forgotten Fluence Z.E. denote the truck’s eco-friendly nature, and we have to admit it doesn’t look half bad.
Renault Koleos Trackhawk rendering
Taking inspiration from the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, Renault’s biggest SUV has spawned a high-performance version in the virtual realm. The speedy Koleos was recently facelifted and received new engines, but the four-cylinders are a far cry from the 6.2-litre Hemi V8 of the American SUV with its supercharged 707 ponies. Corroborated with a meaner body kit and some Brembo brakes, the Koleos Trackhawk is so wrong that it’s right.
Alpine A110 SRT rendering
France’s answer to the Porsche 718 Cayman is an interesting proposal in the sports car segment as the lightweight coupe with its retro styling stands out among its rivals. The expertise of FCA’s Street & Racing Technology (SRT) division could make the nimble two-seater look more aggressive, although swapping out the circular lights to make room for air intakes while installing a bonnet scoop would be a futile effort given the Alpine A110’s rear-mid-engined layout.
Renault Master Overland Campervan rendering
If you’ve been reading Motor1.com for a while, you know the staff here has a soft spot for campers. The adjacent rendering attempts to combine the practicality of the Renault Master big van with the off-road chops of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, resulting in a vehicle ideal for outdoorsy people eager to travel to remote locations and spend the night in the upstairs bed. With solar panels mounted on the roof harvesting energy from the Sun, electricity would not be an issue.
Dacia Duster Trailhawk rendering
One of the most affordable SUVs money can buy in Europe is the hugely popular Dacia Duster, and we have to admit that this subtle Trailhawk makeover actually makes sense. The Romanian SUV could use an off-road-oriented version with wing flares, chunky tyres, and a jacked-up suspension setup. Throw into the mix a couple of tow hooks and we’re sold on the idea of a more adventurous Duster.
Renault Twingo SRT rendering
The adorable Renault Twingo has a somewhat spicy GT version, but with a puny 0.9-litre three-cylinder engine producing 110 hp, it’s not hot hatch material. The rear-wheel-drive, rear-engined city car has been imagined in SRT apparel with wing flares and a stiffer suspension setup. It probably has a few more cylinders under the engine bonnet at the back, although there’s certainly not enough space for a big ol’ V8. The Twingo SRT has also been equipped with a giant front splitter that likely doubles as a snowplow during the winter.
