Dacia Lodgy Minivan Conceptually Sported-Up

Today, the Renault Group's Dacia brand has as much to do with sports cars as the Nissan GT-R powered Duster racer has in common with its production namesake. 

But things change and there's always the possibility that the Romanian automaker may gain a little love from the French firm's Renault Sport division sometime in the future.
Which brings us to this rendering made by Khalil Bouguerra from Virtual-Car. The artist proposes a sporty package for Dacia's newly revealed Lodgy MPV appropriately named DS for 'Dacia Sport'. It includes a lowered body, different bumpers, door mounted mirrors, beefy alloy wheels and a tweaked front grille.

We could complete the fantasy flight with the Megane RS's high-revving 2.0-liter four banger while keeping the basic model's price, but back here on earth, if Renault were ever to produce such a model, something in the likes of a smaller displacement turbo'd petrol would sound more reasonable.
Pictures of both the rendered and the regular Lodgy people carrier follow after the break.
