Most probably, yes!

Haha! I thought so. I will probably book a test drive and record all the sounds I hear from before I climb in to when I hand the keys back. Save the audio files as an MP3, make an artwork JPG (probably involving the Renault badge and a picture of the car) and add to my file collection.

These are the “dazzle wrappers” that car manufacturers use to disguise the vehicle before it is officially released. The concept is a bit like camouflage, to break up the outline so it is hard to read the body shapes and lines accurately. All so that rival manufacturers can’t get advance viewing. When in production, it won’t come in such a design although that could be fun

No, but when one drives past, will you quickly get your phone out and record the sound?!

Presentation of Renault


at 37:20, I think you can hear Oxygene 4 x Epica. At least, it sounds like a combination of both tracks. In fact, you can hear that track throughout the whole conference in different iterations and edits.
At 18:50 you can see JMJ in the audience, at 27:17 you can hear samples from his sound design.

Thanks to JeromeTV btw for pointing me to this video!

2024 Renault Scenic E-Tech Reveal

The OpenR Link multimedia system comes with more than 50 apps so you can plan your journey effortlessly and enjoy it with everyone travelling with you. Its signature sound sequence is in a class by itself – the result of an extraordinary team endeavour with composer Jean-Michel Jarre.

The music itself (Oxygene 4 x Epica) is music for the conference as played as start, mid and end music (and I think it's also used as music for commercials as I noticed in Kanta's video). The two first audio snippets of my post are indeed used for the car.

Renault's new electric Scenic will cost less than £40k - and an electro-pop pioneer has given it a unique sound

Electro-pop music pioneer Jean Michel-Jarre brought a welcome breath of fresh air – and Oxygene - to the launch of the all-electric Renault Scenic family crossover.
