Apparently Renault is figuring out creative ways to be a player.

As part of Renault-Nissan's partnership with Daimler, Renault will produce a four-seat model for Daimler subsidiary Smart in Novo Mesto, Slovenia. The new Smart will share a platform with the next-generation Renault Twingo minicar. Both models are scheduled to launch in 2013. In addition, Daimler and Nissan will build Mercedes four-cylinder gasoline engines for Mercedes and Nissan's luxury brand, Infiniti, in the United States starting in 2014. The partners also plan to co-develop powertrains in the future.

Two lightweight two-seat sports cars, likely to be on sale in 2015 or 2016, will be the first output of a joint venture between French automaker Renault and U.K. sports car maker Caterham that was announced Monday.

Renault + Nissan + Smart = it's sure to be hideous in appearance, no matter how awesome it performs.
