The Renault Coupe C concept is one of those Renault studies that is not linked to any production model. Instead of their own works, the designers turned to the works of the famous Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier and presented the car, fittingly, at the Villa Savoye in Poissy, northwest of Paris. The study is absolutely stunning and one of the most beautiful things we've seen in the world of motoring in a while.
Renault Coupe C the concept was inspired by the modern architectural principles and theories of the famous architect Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris, better known as Le Corbusier. It boasts "gullwing" doors, i.e. doors that open upwards, which is otherwise a fairly constant practice of study examples. Futuristic vehicle design embodies the spirit of Le Corbusier's buildings, so it's no surprise that the car was revealed in one of his famous works, the villa Villa Savoye in Poissy (built between 1928 and 1931), which otherwise hosts a car exhibition about modernism in the 20th and 21st centuries.
