Renault makes waves with Clio Rip Curl edition

Surfersvillage Global Surf News , 14 February, 2007 : - - Renault and Rip Curl have teamed up to produce a Rip Curl-branded Renault Clio. The car, which wears Rip Curl logos at the leading edge of the rubstrips, as well as on the hatchback, doorsills and interior, comes only in Iceberg Blue. Motivation comes from either a 100HP gasoline engine or a 95HP diesel, whose power rotates the 16" alloys in front.

Inside, red trim and the Rip Curl logo on the center stack remind occupants that this is not a standard Clio, and in a nod to the car's target audience, it's equipped with heavy-duty floormats as well as a rigid storage tray for the cargo area. The installed stereo has a glovebox-mounted Audio Connection Box that lets occupants hook up their iPods (and other digital players) for playback through the audio system.

The car itself is 95% recyclable by weight -- something Renault points to as evidence that it takes its environmental responsibility seriously.
