PARIS - April 20, 2010: The Laguna Coupé has always been one of the most striking two-door coupés. Now Renault’s designers have enhanced the two door’s svelte lines with a striking new Monaco GP limited edition.

Given that white is still the new black, the new addition’s arresting look comes courtesy of its sole body and roof colour combination – Pearlescent White metallic paint with contrasting Pearl Black roof. Completing the transformation from stylish grand tourer to aggressive sport coupé, are a set of black 18" 'Interlagos' alloy wheels and matching folding door mirrors.

Allied to the car’s alluring exterior appeal is a well-appointed cabin, featuring a wealth of luxuries perfectly in keeping with the ambience and culture of the Principality from which it takes its name.

Based on the Coupé GT and powered by the 2.0 dCi 180 FAP engine, the limited edition Monaco GP recalls Renault F1 Team’s most recent wins there in 2004 and 2006. The newcomer boasts four-wheel steering, eye-catching dark grey leather upholstery with Monaco GP logo and gloss white inserts for the dash, centre console and door panels.

Rounding off the new version’s impressive range of features are Bluetooth®, BOSE sound system, electric and heated front seats, multi-functional TunePoint (for portable music players), front and rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitor and fully integrated Carminat TomTom satellite navigation.

Ordering for the latest addition to the Laguna Coupé range is open now, ahead of deliveries in July. Production for the white hot limited edition ends in September.
