As the UK basks in glorious sunshine, and we all complain that it"s actually too hot, what we really need is the perfect beach vehicle. Step forward then, the Renault e-Plein Air concept. As you can probably tell, it"s an electrified replica of the original Renault 4L Plein Air, which was launched in 1968 but never really took off among the masses. Only around 500 Plein Airs were built in the end, with most being sold to rich-kids for use as, you guessed it, beach toys. That"s exactly what we need right now though, and with the silent electric powertrain from a Twizy, the e-Plein Air wouldn"t even disturb a flock of ice-cream stealing seagulls.
