THE TWINGO GT, HONED FOR DRIVING ENJOYMENT

◾The Twingo GT's sporty look draws its inspiration from the Twin'Run concept car
◾The Twingo GT will make its world debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, West Sussex, England, June 23-26

More power for added driving enjoymentThe new Twingo GT combines the inherent agility of Renault's rear-wheel drive city car with Renault Sport's expertise to deliver even more driving pleasure. Its 898cc Energy TCe turbo engine has been tuned to deliver 110 horsepower and 170Nm torque thanks to a revised air intake system and modified engine mapping, while different gearing further contributes to the new car's sprightly, free-revving performance.

In order to take advantage of this performance boost in total safety, the Twingo GT's chassis features revised suspension, specific ESP calibration and variable-rate steering. The result is sharp handling and responsive steering feedback for precise cornering and outstanding road holding. These features combine to provide drivers of the Twingo GT with affordable pleasure behind the wheel.

The Twingo GT comes in a choice of four colours, namely the new orange, Lunar Grey, Diamond Black and Crystal White, along with orange trim details in the cabin, Renault Sport-badged doorsills, aluminium pedals and an alloy gear lever knob.

The Twingo GT will be available in the ÚK this winter.
