Coupé-Roadster with a foldaway hardtop –great usability for daily use
Hengersberg – New Renault Wind comes with a one-piece retractable hardtop from Webasto-Edscha Cabrio, the convertible business unit of Webasto group. The Coupé Roadster celebrated its world première at the Geneva Motor show. It was launched in summer and is now also available in Europe.
Innovative roof concept achieves high volume storage
The compact two-seater is only 3.83 metres long and is ideal for everyday use. Thanks to its special roof construction the Renault Wind is the only vehicle in its class that offers the same spacious boot capacity of 270 litres with the hood either up or down.
"Webasto e has once again proven that the term convertible does not necessarily mean less storage space, even in small vehicles”, explains Michael Altmeyer, Managing Director Sales of Webasto-Edscha Cabrio. ”This could only be achieved through innovative compact packaging solutions.”
Only 12 seconds to open
After manually releasing the front latch the one-piece retractable hardtop opens automatically at the push of a button. The roof system pivots back in one piece and disappears beneath the hood box. Thanks to the use of innovative kinematics with an electric motor developed by Webasto, the top can be opened and closed in only 12 seconds. That's twice as fast as other convertible models in this vehicle segment. The Renault Wind offers safety with a rigid rollover bar, hardtop and a high side profile. In Germany the standard roof comes in a matt black plastic material, and also in black varnish as an optional extra.
