LEAKED: Renault Laguna Coupé Arises Before Launch

Ladies and gentlemen, this is no rendering at all. Hours prior to the official reveal of the Renault Laguna Coupé, its official pictures have leaked in the internet, anticipating the beautiful lines of this French car. Carlos Ghosn, Renault CEO, would be the first one to present the car to the public in Cannes, but the World Wide Web has given World Car Fans an overview of what, according to the Spanish site KM77.com, will be available to the Europeans by the third quarter of 2008.

As images may worth a thousand words, there is very little to say about the car that you cannot figure out for yourself, but the rear end has kept the same ideas presented by Laguna Coupé Concept, as well as most of its lines. Other features, such as hidden door handles and LED headlamps, have not made it into the production version. The engine the concept presented, a 3-litre V 6 turbodiesel that generated 235 bhp, has not been officially confirmed so far (it is a matter of hours), but CarScoop states it will be available, as well as the 2-litre four cylindre petrol engine already used by Laguna and a 3.5-litre V6 petrol motor delivering 240 bhp. Official information will come out very soon. Stay tuned!
