Now Renault has a new variation and perhaps a new landmark car, its Mégane Coupé Concept car released in Geneva Motor Show last night with twin, two-part “dragonfly wing†doors. The awesome design will form the basis of an upcoming model. The dragonfly wing doors open to reveal a futuristic, sleek, and stylish interior with four independent seats, sorry dudes… no back seat to take your date. Mégane Coupé Concept is powered by a 200hp, two-litre turbocharged petrol engine which delivers maximum torque of 280Nm at 2,600rpm and peak power of 200hp at 5,800rpm. Attached to a manual six-speed gearbox, the turbo lets Mégane Coupé Concept go from zero to 62 mph in just 7.2 seconds, yet it returns economical fuel consumption of just 6.5 litres/100km.

Volkswagen showed a new concept car in Geneva Motor Show that uses both natural gas and petrol. That’s not new, but it’s the first time it has been combined with the VW TSI engine which uses both a supercharger and a turbocharger operating sequentially to provide high power (150 bhp), great economy, exceptional range and meet Euro 5 emission standards from a small capacity (1.4 liter) engine. With a top speed of 130 mph and the capability to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 9.7 seconds, the Passat Estate TSI EcoFuel remains viable for everyday use and in most driving conditions the vehicle consumes 5.2 kg of natural gas every 100 km. The vehicle will be introduced in mainland Europe in both saloon and estate bodystyles before the end of the year. [WorldCarFans]

Mercedes-Benz claims the 2009-bound S400 BlueHybrid to be the world’s first production using Li-ion hybrid batteries. The lithium-ion alternatives are known to offer greater efficiency, as well as a better overall weight-to-power ratio, and are used in the all-electric Tesla roadster as well as in many plug-in hybrid conversions. The S400, unveiled at the 2007 Frankfurt auto show, will use a 3.5-liter V-6 engine complemented by the hybrid system. Mercedes-Benz claims 30 mpg for the S400 and a 0 to 62 mph time of 7.3 seconds with its 295 horsepower. No info on pricing at this stage. [HybridCars]
