2009 Renault Laguna Coupe Unveiled At Cannes

Renault has chosen the glamorous weekend which sees the Cannes Film Festival coincide with the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix to take the wraps off Laguna Coupe. Its performance provides unprecedented pleasure behind the wheel thanks to the combination of its Active Drive chassis equipped with four-wheel steering – which has been acclaimed by the media across Europe on the GT version of Renault Laguna – and the two new V6 powerplants which have been introduced at the same time as this image-forging vehicle. The brand new V6 dCi, delivers 235hp (173kW), while the new 3.5-litre petrol-powered V6 offers 240hp (175kW).

Renault Laguna Coupe is capable of accelerating from standstill to 100kph in less than seven seconds, and this upper-range performance combines with the Active Drive chassis and four-wheel steering to deliver optimum pleasure at the wheel. Sitting on its 17- or 18-inch aluminium alloy wheels, Laguna Coupe's stance exudes a sense of dynamism and power thanks to a wheelbase dimension of 2.69m and a height of 1.40m. This sensation is echoed by the pronounced crease-lines of its long bonnet and by its new variant headlamps. The rear, meanwhile, features a very short overhang and broad, slim lights which give Laguna Coupe a bright, distinctive lighting signature.

Renault Laguna Coupe will be shown in greater detail at Paris Motor Show in October and will be available for international media road tests immediately after that.

The upcoming 2009 Renault Megane 5door hatchback and the 2009 Renault Laguna Coupe were caught testing somewhere in Australia.

What we know is that both of these Renault cars are expected to make a debut at 2008 Paris Motor Show in September this year.

And the 09 Laguna Coupe will probably come with the option of 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol & diesel engines and a top of the line 3.5-liter V6 powerplant. Checkout the heavily camouflaged spy photo shots of 2009 model Renault Megane & Laguna below.
