The Renault Twingo GT, honed for driving enjoyment

Having released a prior teaser, Renault has officially unveiled the Twingo GT. The 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 110bhp 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. 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. 

The new Twingo GT's look is inspired by the Twin'Run concept car. Easily recognisable thanks to its 17-inch wheels, lateral air intakes, twin exhaust tail pipe and new orange body colour, the Twingo GT's sporty credentials and heritage are visible at first glance. The Twingo GT comes in a choice of four colours, 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 Renault Twingo GT will make its official debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
