New Twingo Renaultsport Unveiled!

Renault Sport Technologies profited from the international launch of the latest R28 Formula 1 single-seater in Boulogne-Billancourt, near Paris, France, today to take the wraps off Twingo Renaultsport. Renault's new, affordable, high-performance car slots into the Renaultsport range alongside its bigger sister cars, Clio and Mégane Renaultsport.

Twingo Renaultsport is a genuine hot hatch with looks to match and was designed to deliver both enjoyable roadholding and sports performance. Its efficient, balanced chassis has been mated to a fiery but flexible 133hp engine to form a package that is sure to appeal to all those who seek sporting sensations and driving pleasure during everyday motoring.

Unmistakable sporting credentials

Renault has produced an affordable high-performance car which sits alongside Clio and Mégane Renaultsport in the Renaultsport range. Twingo Renaultsport's compact proportions and incisive, assertive styling are taken from the Twingo Concept show car which was unveiled at the 2006 Paris Show. Twingo's existing lines are underpinned by a more curvaceous, athletic stance and the newcomer's sporty calling is further emphasised by its wider front and rear wings, profiled sills and rear spoiler.

Driving pleasure and sporting sensations during everyday motoring

Twingo Renaultsport is the response of Renault Sport Technologies' experts to a two-pronged challenge, namely to deliver sports performance while at the same time ensuring that the new car is easy to use on a day-to-day basis. Twingo Renaultsport’s chassis is both responsive and finely tuned to provide precise, balanced handling, while specific work on its new 133hp 1,598cc engine reveals its punchy temperament.

The public will have the opportunity to examine Twingo Renaultsport in further detail at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show.
