Renault has released the first pictures of its new<br />
Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet, which will go on sale in<br />
the UK this summer. <strong>The</strong> four-seater Coupé-Cabriolet<br />
is as pretty as its predecessor was gauche and gets a<br />
folding, smoked-glass roof which, the manufacturer<br />
promises, can be raised or folded away in 21 seconds.<br />
<strong>The</strong> car also gets a fixed glass wind deflector behind the<br />
rear seats that, Renault claims, allows four people to<br />
enjoy ‘draught-free driving’ at speeds of up to 56mph.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sixth new model in the Mégane line-up, the C-C<br />
will be the first Renault to get the firm’s new dual clutch<br />
gearbox. <strong>The</strong> six-speed unit is said to cut CO2 emissions<br />
by up to 17% compared with a regular automatic.<br />
Prices for the Mégane C-C had not been announced as<br />
we went to press, but it’s expected that the car will cost<br />
about the same as the Peugeot 308 CC, which starts at<br />
around £20,000.<br />
Price: from £20,000<br />

370Z: BACK TO BLACK<br />
Extra special versions of the iconic Nissan 370Z are<br />
being built for the UK but only 370 examples of the<br />
two-seater model will be made available in our<br />
showrooms.<br />
<strong>The</strong> special 370Z is Nissan’s tribute to the success of its<br />
high-performance Z series cars that<br />
won acclaim in the UK in<br />
the 1970s. Due<br />
to go on<br />
sale this<br />
month,<br />
the<br />
limited<br />
run Black<br />
Edition coupé comes in metallic black and quartz<br />
finishes that apparently ‘heal’ after stone chip damage.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y stand on 19-inch forged aluminium wheels and<br />
have eye-catching red brake callipers.<br />
<strong>In</strong>side, unique red leather and suede upholstery<br />
includes seats embossed with special 40th anniversary<br />
logos, a leather steering wheel, distinctive red stitching<br />
and a suitably impressive touch-screen satellite<br />
navigation and audio system.<br />
As in the standard car, power comes from a 3.7-litre,<br />
24-valve twin cam V6 motor that provides 0-to-62mph<br />
acceleration in just 5.3 seconds and a top speed limited<br />
to 155mph.<br />
Price: from £33,645<br />
