The French seem to know a thing or two about beautiful design.

The stunning Renault TreZor Concept that debuted at last year’s Paris Motor Show was just voted as the Most Beautiful Concept Car of 2016 by the Festival Automobile International.

The all-electric grand touring vehicle concept stole the spotlight when it was revealed, and previews technology and design cues that will be used on future models from the French automaker. One of the main design features was a unique clamshell roof that opened to allow access to the red interior. Total system output for the Renault TreZor was 350 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, which was able to get the two-seat concept to 62 mph in under four seconds.

“The jury decided this award should go to the TreZor because of the extreme beauty, sensuality, and elegance it exudes,” sais Rémi Depoix, president of the Festival Automobile International, in a press release. “It is the epitome of a concept car and we were notably won over by the cohesion of its overall design and the attention that has been paid to the details. It is a fine creative work which, we hope, will inspire Renault’s future roadgoing models.”
