The pair have re-signed...
The pair have re-signed for 2008 after being heaped with praise by team boss Nick Fry for the way they have coped with the awful RA107 car. But once again, they had a disappointing race. Button crashed early on and Barrichello finished 11th.
Renault"s electric dreams...
Renault"s electric dreams are becoming a reality! Just as Auto Express predicted, when we drove all of Renault"s electric concepts last month, the Twizy, Zoe and Kangoo concepts have all been confirmed for production.
First up will be the Twizy - a 1+1 city car that bridges the gap between scooters and conventional cars. Production will begin in 2011 at Renault"s Valladolid factory in Spain.
The same year will see the Kangoo Z.E., a small electric van, enter series production at the firm"s Maubeurge plant in Northern France.
And last but not least, a clio-sized all-electric supermini, based on the Zoe concept will be built at the firm"s Flins factory from 2012.
