Out of the shadows of all the major auto shows happening all over the world at this time of the year, the Johannesburg Motor Show is scheduled to open its doors on October 16th, and at least one automaker will be in attendance to introduce a new concept->ke169 vehicle.

That automaker is Renault->ke72 and recently, the French company released teaser photos of the concept in question, aptly called the Duster->ke4616 Detour Concept. The vehicle is based on the Renault Duster, the company's resident budget off-roader that was penned and developed by Renault Design Central Europe in partnership with a Johannesburg-based design studio.

Four teaser images were spliced together to give us hints of what to expect of the Duster Detour Concept. The two-tone Pearl Yellow and Matte Grey paint is inline with past Renault concepts, and the edges and curves appear to suggest some inspiration on the Dakar rally, as well as what Renault calls a mix of a little "Mad Max with a touch of the Terminator."

Nothing like cinematic references to get our interests going.

Fog lights were also included just under what looks like a newly designed front grille. A set of five-spoke alloy wheels with orange accents is also part of the concept, as is what the company says is a spacious and revised interior cabin.

The Renault Duster Detail Concept will make its debut on October 16th, at which time we'll get to see how much Mad Max and how much Terminator was inspired in the design of the concept off-roader.

2010 Dacia Duster

First launched by Renault and Dacia a few years ago, the Duster became the first SUV to come out of Romania. Since then, the SUV has been used numerous times in racing environments, proving that this vehicle was built more than just for functional purposes.

The powertrain for the Duster doesn't exude any semblance of power whatsoever with the SUV being offered in both 4x2 and 4x4 versions and powered by either a 1.6-liter 16V petrol engine that produces 110 horsepower to go with other engine options like the 85 dCi and 105 dCi diesel.
