Renault Avantime, 2001 - 2003
The Renault Avantime is a tall, versatile coupe. The car had to combine the luxury and comfort of a coupe with the spaciousness and practicality of an Espace-type monovolume. The Avantime only has 2 doors that are very large, making it easy to place on the rear seats through them. The Avantime is powered by a 24-valve, 207 hp (152 kW) 3.0L V6 engine with a 6-speed transmission. Despite the design, and perhaps because of it, this unique project was a great commercial failure and was discontinued just two years after production. Only 8,545 units of this car were produced.
