Renault will launch the new Twingo Renaultsport 133 hot hatch this summer, available to buy from the end of July at £11,550.
Powered by a new 1.6-litre VVT engine with 133bhp and 118lb-ft of torque, the Twingo Renaultsport 133 is built on a newly-designed chassis developed from launch by Renault Sport Technologies.
The Twingo Renaultsport 133 adds to the standard specification of the Twingo GT and includes ESP (which can be manually deactivated), Renaultsport chassis with 16” alloy wheels and 195/45 tyres, Renaultsport front and rear bumpers and side sills, extended front and rear wheel arches, gunmetal grey door mirror housings, fog lamp surrounds and rear spoiler, aluminium pedals, Renaultsport leather steering wheel, Renaultsport rev counter with gearshift indicator light, Renaultsport front seats with enhanced lateral support and orange seatbelts.
Twingo Renaultsport 133 is available with a choice of five colours: Capsicum Red or £375 optional metallic Pearl Black, Extreme Blue, Mercury Silver or Mirage Grey. The latter is a new colour exclusive to the Renaultsport version.
An optional Cup chassis can be specified at £650, featuring a 4mm lower ride height, stiffer springs and dampers, 17” dark grey Anthracite alloy wheels and 195/40 tyres.
All orders placed within the first 133 days will receive a free Renaultsport track day with tuition, with a voucher for a free place on a Renaultsport trackday in 2009, which includes free tuition, at either Brands Hatch, Oulton Park, Cadwell Park or Bedford Autodrome.
