So how well is a ~1600 pound car going to handle driving 70 MPH in a gusty 40 MPH cross wind?

(Common situation and road condition here at least.)

That sounds like my 1975 VW Rabbit which weighed all of 1700 pounds. And it wasn't much fun in those kind of cross-winds.

I love the concept of this concept car. I also love positronic brains and homeowner size fusion power reactors.

Can Renault realize this concept? That is the question.

Pretty cool and good looking too. Being a Renault, I wonder how reliable it will be? Also, with all this technology, it's going to be pricey.
