Billed as a replacement for the more conservative Almera, it"s been penned at Nissan"s European design HQ in Paddington. The model has unusual glass sections of the roof, which should guarantee an airy cabin - although buyers will have to wait until 2007 to find out. The Tone"s radical look coincides with a Tokyo exhibition marking 50 years of Nissan design.

The new Renaultsport...

The new Renaultsport Clio has side vents and an F1-style diffuser with integrated tailpipes, which are all designed to aid aerodynamics.

Featuring an all-new 2.0-litre 16-valve powerplant that produces 197bhp and 215Nm of torque, the new hot hatch should manage the 0-62mph sprint in 6.9 seconds, plus a 133mph top speed. And fans of the Trophy and Cup editions of the previous Clio will be glad to learn there are plans to develop similar models again - largely due to their popularity in the UK. More than half of the hot hatches Renault sells find homes in Britain.

Meanwhile, Renault"s vice president of projects, Gerard Payen, told Auto Express "not to rule out" the resurrection of the Clio V6. The firm stopped building it in July last year, but it may return as the maker "further develops the Renaultsport brand".
