2008 Geneva Auto Show Preview: Renault Twingo RS

    0 Ratings
    PARIS — Alongside the rollout of Renault's new R28 F1 racing car, the French automaker has announced a new addition to its Renaultsport line: the Twingo RS.

    The tiny Twingo is the most affordable Renaultsport model, joining performance editions of the Clio and Mégane.

    The car is powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine making 133 horsepower, and receives the usual chassis mods to enhance handling.

    The aggressive exterior styling cues are drawn from the Twingo concept that was displayed at the 2006 Paris Auto Show.

    The Twingo Renaultsport will make its world debut at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show in early March.
