Renault's new, affordable, high-performance car slots into the Renaultsport range alongside its bigger 'sister' cars, Clio and Mégane and will be on sale in Europe in the (northern) autumn.

Twingo Renaultsport is a genuine hot hatch with looks to match and was designed to deliver both enjoyable road-holding and sports performance. Its efficient, balanced chassis has been combined with a punchy but flexible 133 hp 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, for Europe, an affordable high-performance car which sits alongside Clio and Mégane 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 Motor Show. Twingo's existing lines are underpinned by a more aggressive stance and the newcomer's sporty style is further emphasised by its wider front and rear guards, 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 comfortable to use on a daily basis. Twingo Renaultsport’s chassis is both responsive and finely tuned to provide precise, balanced handling, while specific work on its new 133 hp 1,598cc engine reveals a punchy temperament.
