Renault hots up Twingo

Renault has launched a hot hatch version of its popular small car, the Twingo.

The Twingo GT will feature a Renault sport-tuned rear-mounted engine offering 108 bhp and will be capable of 0-62 mpg in less than ten seconds.

Changes have also been made to the car’s suspension and its five-speed gearbox has been revamped to offer drivers a sportier ride. Renault also believe the use of specific ESP calibration will ensure sharper handling and precise cornering.

Buyers will be able to choose from four paint colours – Blaze Orange, Lunar Grey, Diamond Black and Crystal White.

Inside the car has been revamped with the addition of Renault Sport-badged sills, aluminium pedals and an alloy gear lever knob.

Renault has yet to confirm pricing for the Twingo GT, but it expected to be available before the end of the year.
