Reporting for Car Design News from the 2018 Paris Motor Show, I interviewed Renault’s design director for concept cars, Stéphane Janin, sitting in the just-revealed EZ-Ultimo concept car. The resulting story, including lots of direct quotes and original photographs, was written up and published within an hour of the interview.
