Laurens van den Acker

<h2><strong>A unique step for an automaker to take</strong></h2><p>Few, if any, carmakers would go as far as offering this kind of opportunity for web influencers to spend an hour and a half in the company of their design chief discussing the competition at a major motor show. <a href="https://www.renaultgroup.com/en/news/blog-renault/paris-motor-show-2012-a-tour-of-the-competitor-stands-with-laurens-van-den-acker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">This year’s blogger walk-around was not Renault’s first, because Mr van den Acker had invited a small panel of bloggers on a similar operation in 2012.</a></p><p>He’s fond of this kind of event, and personally appreciates the chance to talk with real car enthusiasts about what’s happening across the industry, and offer the insights only a truly expert eye can give. And there’s little doubt that our four bloggers (from <a href="https://theautomobilist.fr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TheAutomobilist</a>, <a href="http://www.frenchdriver.fr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FrenchDriver</a>, <a href="http://boitierrouge.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Boitier Rouge</a> and <a href="https://blog-espritdesign.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Blog Esprit Design</a>) appreciated what was a unique opportunity to hear plain talk from the executive who was voted <a href="https://www.renaultgroup.com/en/news/blog-renault/triple-win-for-renault-at-the-festival-automobile-international/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2016 Designer of the Year.</a></p><p>Read more about it:</p><ul><li></li><li></li><li></li><li><a href="https://theautomobilist.fr/autour-de-lauto/design/visite-mondial-automobile-2016-laurens-van-den-acker-99889#.WAiwV5qa3IU" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Excellent article in TheAutomobilist</a></li><li><a href="http://www.frenchdriver.fr/11147-renault-design-mondial-auto-paris-2016/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Full appraisal in FrenchDriver</a></li></ul><h5>Selected extract</h5><h2><strong>Peugeot 3008</strong></h2><p><em>“This looks like a fine car. The interior’s in tune with the exterior. The interior is just great:  modern, dynamic, with quality materials. I’d say the exterior is a tiny bit less coherent, though I do like the bold and detail-rich front end. It’s got a convincing upmarket feel to it, which makes it a serious competitor for Kadjar, though it’s not quite as compact.”</em></p><h2><strong>Mercedes MayBach Vision</strong></h2><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="790" height="530" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14963282" alt="MayBach" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/maybach.jpg" /></p><p><em>“This is my first look at the Maybach concept, and I’m most impressed. […] The design looks deceptively simple, because it plays deliberately on a sort of unreal fantasy effect, a little like a cartoon. But that means the designers were adventurous enough to go for this effect, with those highly exaggerated proportions. […] It’s very well done. I’m won over. Indeed, this car’s got all the ingredients it needs to win people over. And I mean it’s red, it’s a coupé; that’s a time-honoured recipe that never goes wrong.”</em></p><h2><strong>Alfa RomEo Giulia</strong></h2><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="790" height="530" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14963288" alt="LVDA_Blogueur8" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/lvda_blogueur8.jpg" /></p><p><em>“Alfa is one of those mythical brands that’s come up with some mythical cars. When you love cars, you love Alfa. All car designers have dreamed of designing an Alfa. I mean just look at the 33 Stradale: the proportions are absolutely perfect. It’s superb! And so tiny: I’m not even sure I’d fit in there myself.”</em></p><h2><strong>What’s Tesla doing? </strong></h2><p><em>“Tesla is a surprising outfit. They’ve taken some quite original design options here. Like those butterfly doors, which have a considerable impact on the car’s proportions. Personally, I find those proportions a little odd. The hatch looks like it doesn’t close properly, and there’s a kind of mismatch between the roof and the windows. Myself, I’d lower the roof by 10 cm. But then I reckon if the car’s built the way it is, those butterfly doors have got a lot to do with it.”</em></p><h2><strong>Renault TreZor, Laurens van den Acker’s motor show favourite (understandably enough)</strong></h2><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="790" height="530" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14963267" alt="LVDA_Blogueur2" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/lvda_blogueur2.jpg" /></p><p><em>“As in 2010 with DeZir, TreZor stands in the Love petal in our design daisy. But whereas DeZir was love at first sight, TreZor is a more mature form of love. It’s a spectacular electric GT that showcases our Formula E expertise along with the all the advanced technologies and connectivity capabilities that go together to make an autonomous car.</em></p><p><em>TreZor is elegantly styled, very French, highly sensuous, yet delightfully simple and uncluttered. It uses the same C-shape light signature that you see on the whole of the new Renault range. </em></p><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="790" height="530" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14726120" alt="TREZOR - Photo 2" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/trezor-photo-2.jpg" /></p><p><em>There’s no real frontier between interior and exterior. TreZor opens like a jewellery box. You just slide in, just like with an old-style racing car.</em></p><p><em>The interior is where we’ll be seeing a full-scale revolution in the years to come, with the contrast between modern features, using extremely advanced technologies, and authenticity, with quality traditional materials like wood and copper. TreZor shows off the new new-generation Renault spirit. As we always have, we’ll be making cars people rave over: beautiful, sumptuous and straightforward. And we’ll be adding even more finesse, greater elegance, with design à la française and a wealth of easy-living technologies. »</em></p>

Private visit to the 2016 Paris Motor Show with our design chief Laurens Van den Acker

<h2><strong>Talisman voted 2015 « MOST BEAUTIFUL car of the year » by internet users</strong></h2><p>Online voting resulted in Talisman earning more than 40 percent of votes, far ahead of the three other finalists. Talisman combines bold, muscular lines true to Renault’s new brand identity with the unique, unprecedented driving experience afforded by Multi-Sense and 4Control technologies. Talisman, Renault’s elegant new saloon, features assertive, status-enhancing styling and, from whichever angle it is viewed, appears ready to pounce. Its exterior lines and cabin appointments all suggest travelling comfort and driving enjoyment.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">And the Most Beautiful Car of the Year <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/award?src=hash">#award</a> goes to… <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RenaultTALISMAN?src=hash">#RenaultTALISMAN</a>! <a href="https://t.co/VCNsqVTfqb">pic.twitter.com/VCNsqVTfqb</a></p><p>— Renault (@Groupe_Renault) <a href="https://twitter.com/Groupe_Renault/status/692108944488153088">January 26, 2016</a></p></blockquote><p><script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script></p><h2><strong>Design Grand Prix for Groupe Renault design chief </strong></h2><p>Laurens van den Acker was named winner of the festival’s Design Grand Prix. Renault’s Senior Vice-President, Corporate Design, took the prize after a particularly exciting year in terms of new models, with launches of New Espace, Kadjar, Talisman and New Mégane.</p><div class="tpl tpl--emphasis clearfix"><h3>Design Grand Prix : 3 questions for SVP Design L. van den Acker</h3><p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="331" height="176" class="alignleft wp-image-11536620 size-full" alt="2017 Laurens van den Acker LVDA" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/lvda.jpg" />How do you feel about the Design Grand Prix awarded to you by the International Automobile Festival?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>LVDA</strong>: <em>We’re really proud of that! This award will encourage us to push ahead with our design strategy in 2016, under the Passion for Life baseline, which expresses the Renault design revival under way since 2012. I dedicate this award to the whole of the Design team, and to Renault’s Engineering and Product Planning teams, and to our management in general, who have backed us solidly from the outset of this adventure.</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>With this distinctive new design identity, the Renault product plan has undergone a radical change over the last three years. Do you have a personal favourite among all the new models?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>LVDA</strong>: <em>Well, I actually have two favourites. I’ll always have a soft spot for Clio, as the very first exponent of our new design strategy. And my second special mention goes to the forthcoming Scénic, which stays true to the pioneering spirit of the first generation while taking a giant step forward out into the future. I’m really looking forward to the launch of this model in Geneva</em>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>In the light of its award-winning performance at the International Automobile Festival, which particular design aspect of Talisman are you most proud of?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>LVDA</strong>: <em>I’m fond of saying that Talisman’s primary USP is the sense of pride it inspires. That has a lot to do with the highly characteristic front end, and highly original light signature, expressing presence and distinction. With Talisman we pulled out all the stops in order to fulfil our ambitions in this segment, so we’re highly optimistic and undaunted by the competition.</em></p></div><h2><strong>Advertising Film Grand Prix for New Espace</strong></h2><p>Last but not least, Renault came first in the Festival’s Advertising Film category with its ‘Make Your Time Great’ campaign for New Espace, which stars Kevin Spacey showing how to master time.</p><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="500" class="alignnone wp-image-8079154 size-full" alt="2017 Kevin Spacey - ESPACE 'Make Your Time Great' campaign" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/11.jpg" /></p><blockquote><p>We are proud to receive this award, and very pleased with the success of this campaign, an eloquent illustration of Renault’s ambitious objectives. New Espace marks a real breakthrough in styling and concept, so we wanted to reflect this shift in the way we promoted the model when it was launched. Kevin Spacey [star of the TV series House of Cards] selects his advertising partnerships with great care, so it was excellent news for us when he accepted to associate his image with that of New Espace. He was actively involved in the campaign, and that involvement extended to interaction with his social media fans and followers”</p></blockquote><p>                                                                  said Michael van der Sande,Group Marketing SVP</p><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="2953" height="2342" class="alignnone wp-image-11533800 size-full" alt="Festival Automobile International 2017 awards ceremony " src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/omg5991.jpg" /></p><p>The concept car exhibition at the festival (Hôtel des Invalides, Paris, from 27 to 31 January 2016) includes Alaskan, Renault’s large pick-up. </p>
