The combination of a 110bhp petrol engine, a manual gearbox and rear-wheel-drive sees Renault propose an unprecedented package in the small city car class: the Twingo GT. (Also unprecedented in the small city car class are the Twingo GT’s Smart Brabus siblings.)
The new Twingo GT combines the inherent agility of Renault’s rear-drive supermini 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 of 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 feedback for precise cornering and outstanding roadholding. These features combine to provide drivers of the Twingo GT with affordable pleasure behind the wheel.
Easily recognisable thanks to its 17-inch wheels, lateral air intakes, twin exhaust tailpipes and fresh orange body colour, the Twingo GT’s sporty credentials and heritage are visible at first glance. The Twingo III’s lines, which drew their inspiration from the Twin’Run concept hot hatch, combine perfectly with the Twingo GT’s specific wheel design, NACA aircraft graphics (a cheeky French tribute to the wings of the famous American plane) and lowered ride height to produce a head-turning look.
The Twingo GT comes in a choice of four colours, namely the striking 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 gearknob.
