Twin'Run drove its first laps in front of spectators at the Monaco Grand Prix weekend. Twin'Run is a performance car through and through and cultivates the Renault brand's passion for racing, picking up where the famous R5 Turbo and Clio V6 left off.

Twin'Run ties in perfectly with the series of concept cars illustrating Renault's design strategy. The diamond-dominated front end underlines Renault's new styling approach through its new brand identity.

Like Twin'Z, Twin'Run gets blue paint in reference to the 'Play' petal of the fifth stage in the French marque's design strategy.

"Twin'Run is a cocktail of energy, passion and athleticism, rekindling the memory of emblematic Renault racing cars," said Laurens van den Acker, Senior Vice President, Corporate Design at the Renault group.

Red also figures at the front, where it underlines the grille and air intakes, and on the ultra-slim door mirrors and the tips of the rear airfoil. A red surround emphasises the circumference of the black and white wheels.

Twin'Run is fitted with the V4Y engine from the Renault-Nissan Alliance, which is used on the road for Laguna, Espace and Latitude, as well as in competition with the Megane Trophy racer. Mounted longitudinally ahead of the rear axle centreline, the 3.5-litre V6 powerplant delivers 320bhp at 6,800rpm and 380Nm of torque at 4,850rpm. Unsurprisingly, it also makes a great noise. The V6 is mated to a SADEV six-speed sequential gearbox with limited slip differential, enhancing Twin'Run stability and traction in curves.

Twin'Run has the cabin of a performance car, underlined by the tubular chassis and SPARCO seats fitted with safety harnesses while the door panels and dashboard are upholstered in black and red 'alcantara effect' suede. The padded bucket seats, upholstered in three shades of alcantara and carrying the Twin'Run signature, allude to the 'French touch' of this one-off concept car.
