Defining Renault's Twizy isn't easy. It has four wheels - but isn't really a car. There's space for two - but only one front seat. There's a roof - but it's open at the sides. And it'll match the flow of traffic - but won't use an engine to do so. This was Renault's electric technology at its most extreme, offering perhaps the ultimate answer for city motoring. Perhaps even the kind of second car that all future families should have.
Apple founder Steve Jobbs always contended that product development shouldn't be based around asking people what they wanted. Nothing really new ever gets invented like that. Forward thinking demands that you look at a problem - in this case, the way that the automobile industry uses 25% of the world's oil consumption and ramps up climate change by putting out 12% of all global Co2 emissions - and design a unique solution. Well, this Twizy was certainly unique. It wasn't created to be an only car, to cover long distances or even to be especially practical. Which is great. After all, it's precisely because conventional citycars try to make themselves at least some of these things that they're less economic than for the future, they will need to be. If you spend your life nipping around town but can't bring yourself to buy the scooter you know in your heart of hearts would make more sense, then this Renault offers the answer. And, unlike most sensible solutions, it's affordable, it's desirable and it's fantastic fun. A scooter for people who like cars or a car for people who like scooters. We're not sure which. But the definition doesn't matter. The end result does. The future - re-defined.
