Renault Argos


Another unattractive concept with an unattractive name. This car appears to be made of multiple materials, as if made of found objects. The shape is symmetrical front and back, resembling a gell-cap pill or a beetle of some kind. It doesn't appear to have taillights either, and the "innovative" doors are pretty rediculous. Sort of like a minivan but they slide into the bodywork. Sure - it hides the doors, but unlike a minivan whose doors can slide over the rear wheels, the doors on the Argo have to fit inside the bodywork. Giving this 2 seater coupe a very long profile aft of the door openings. Very inefficient.

Captain Nemo should drive it immediately to Atlantis! That is, if he can keep the engine from flooding!
