Renault DeZir

The Renault DeZir is an electric concept car that appears in Asphalt 8: Airborne. It became the base of the Renault-Alpine A110-50 and Renaultsport:01.

Overview
The Renault DeZir was officially unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The DeZir uses butterfly doors and an interior of red leather. However, these butterfly doors are different from other cars in that the passenger door is hinged at the rear. The engine is a 148 hp mid-mounted electric motor capable of giving the DeZir the ability to propel itself to 60 mph in five seconds up to a top speed of 112 mph. As a result of these specifications, the Renault DeZir's competitors are the Audi R8 e-tron, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive and the Citroën Survolt.

Asphalt 8: Airborne
The Renault DeZir is one of the 11 new cars added in the Winter update.

Judging from the Winter update trailer, the Renault DeZir is a Class D car, much like the Renault CLIO R.S. 200 EDC. While having a relatively low starting rank of 514, the Renault DeZir has a maximum rank of 1153 and a final rank of 1262. With a starting rank-maximum rank difference of 639 points, the Renault DeZir has the biggest gap between the starting rank and maximum rank of any car to date. If a Tuning Kit is active, the DeZir effectively becomes the 2nd most powerful Class D vehicle in the game, after the BMW M3 Sedan. adding a Tuning Kit gives 128  points to its rank, making its new final rank 1390, which is higher than the Ferrari 308 GTS' 1387 (1336+51).

Judging from its current specs, the Renault DeZir accelerates very fast for a Class D vehicle with the nitro activated. In fact, it has the fastest nitro boost of any electric vehicle in the game (63.9 mph); it also lasts quite long, unlike the Ford F-150, which has the biggest nitro boost of any vehicle in the game. In fact, the Renault DeZir has the highest Level 2/Perfect Nitro and Level 3 Nitro durations of any vehicle in the game, lasting longer than those of vehicles with a 17.7~26.6 mph (28.6~42.9 km/h) nitro boost like the McLaren P1, 9FF GT9 VMAX, Pagani Zonda R, and Citroën Survolt. However, it handles worse than the CLIO R.S. 200 EDC for some reason. Also, it has a horrible top speed compared to other high-end Class D cars, even lower than that of a maxed out Dodge Dart GT but more than that of a Ford F-150. Unlike other high-end Class D cars, the Renault DeZir only has two Pro Kit levels instead of five, which explains its worse handling than the CLIO R.S. 200 EDC.

The Renault DeZir costs  to purchase and to max out. In terms of maxing it out, it is the third most expensive Class D car, after the Ferrari 308 GTS' 787,360 and the BMW M3 Sedan 2,059,330

 * The Renault DeZir, Ferrari 308 GTS, and Audi R8 e-tron are the only mid-engined Class D cars in Asphalt 8.
 * The Renault DeZir and Rimac Concept One are the only electric cars introduced in the Winter update, and as such, do not appear in the Glimpse into the Future collection.

 * The Renault DeZir concept appears in the new "Photo-Finish Pack" for the racing game DriveClub, available for free.
 * The Renault DeZir is one of the five cars with no form of side mirror, the other four are the Felino cB7, Mercedes-Benz Biome, Ferrari FXX Evoluzione, and the Mercedes-Benz Silver Lightning. However, the DeZir is one of the easiest to notice. It is also the second car with no back window, with the other car being the Mercedes Benz Silver Lightning.

 * This car shares its design with the Renault Alpine A110-50, another Renault car that appeared in Asphalt 7: Heat.
 * Strange enough, when wrecked, the Renault DeZir's passenger door is hinged at the front instead of being hinged at the rear, causing it to open upwards and forwards like with every other car that uses butterfly doors.
