Europe gets hot Renault Twingo Sport supermini
Renault has revealed a hot new version of their Twingo supermini. Powered by a 133 hp 1.6L four-banger, the Renault Twingo Renault-Sport may have a geeky name, but it is big on heart.
The Twingo Renault Sport range comes with a choice of two chassis-tuning options, namely Sport or Cup. The base Twingo GT actually has a 100 hp engine, while the Sport gets the 133 hp engine.
More interesting is that Renault will offer every customer a driver training course. It teaches new buyers how to handle their new hot hatch for free.
The car is fitted with independent sliding rear seats or a rear bench seat, along with 16-inch or 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and a variety of colors. Renault Sport graphics can be applied to the front quarter panels, the rear bumper and even to the key housing. The Twingo also features hands-free Bluetooth telephone controls and an audio connection box which permits drivers to connect an MP3 player or iPod. Safety features such as ABS and ESP are available, while side-curtain airbags are optional.
Customization options are rather interesting. Along with the sticker package and other trim choices, the Twingo can be had with these aluminum pedals.
With rising oil prices, maybe it is time that Renault made a comeback in the United States, peddling hot alternatives to the usual gas-sippers.
