Twingo Gordini R.S

€18,100

Twingo Gordini R.S. features a gleaming Malte Blue lacquered metallic finish, plus two white racing stripes, in keeping with tradition. The front and rear bumpers are enhanced by gloss black details, while the foglamp surrounds, exterior mirror housings and lip spoiler are all picked out in a contrasting white finish. This exclusive exterior styling package is rounded off by a choice of either blue or black diamond-effect 17-inch aluminium alloy wheels.

To ensure that it befits Gordini's glorious motor sport heritage, the latest addition to the Twingo range is based on the same performance/equipment package as the Renault Sport version- powered by a 1.6-litre 133hp petrol engine with a distinctive, specially-tuned engine pitch under acceleration and features a Sport chassis with 17-inch wheels.

New Twingo R.S. made its world premiere at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The model, developed by RenaultSport features a “sporting interpretation of Renault’s new styling identity”.  The Twingo R.S. features a dynamic grille design with four lights and a front bumper incorporating an F1-style blade. The rear sees the addition of a tailgate-mounted spoiler, rear wheel arch extensions and a diffuser incorporated into the rear bumper.

Inside, the Twingo RS has the trademark Renault Sport yellow stitching on the steering wheel, seats and dashboard cowl and gloss black inserts in the dashboard,  radio console, rev-counter housing and lateral air vents . The top of the steering wheel, seat backs, dial surrounds and heater controls carry white detailing.
Powered by a  1.6 16V R.S. engine that peaks 133hp/98kW at 6,750rpm, and 160Nm of torque at 4,400rpm, New Twingo R.S. boasts low CO2 emissions (150g/km, a saving of 3.2 percent compared to the former version) and fuel consumption (6.5 litres/100km, a saving of 3.0 percent).

The optional R.S. Monitor onboard telemetry system and the optional Cup chassis that lowered the ride height by 4mm with 280mm-diameter front discs and 240mm-diameter rear discs  can also be ordered as an option.
