Renault Zo (1998)

At the 1998 Geneva Auto Show Renault shows the three-seater, all-terrain, opentop ZO. The Zo is a cross between a car and a motorbike and it is entirely hose washable!

With a very strong architectural structure between axles, the Zo combine traditional approaches to small coupe design with less conventional ones. The architectural effect of the side and roll-over structures has been referenced in several other small sports cars since the appearance of the Zo.
