Renault Press Release:
TWINGO RENAULT SPORT EXPERIENCE THE RENAULT SPORT THRILL
Renault Sport Technologies profited from the international launch of the latest R28 Formula 1 single-seater in Boulogne-Billancourt,
near Paris, France, today to take the wraps off 2008 Twingo Renault Sport. Renault's new, affordable, high-performance car slots into the Renault Sport range alongside its bigger sister cars, Clio and Mégane Renault Sport.
2008 Twingo Renault Sport is a genuine hot hatch with looks to match and was designed to deliver both enjoyable roadholding and genuine sports performance. Its efficient, balanced chassis has been mated to a fiery but flexible 133hp engine to form a package that is sure to appeal to all
those who seek sporting sensations and driving pleasure during everyday motoring.
The public will get a chance to see 2008 Twingo Renault Sport in further detail at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show.
Unmistakable sporting credentials
Renault has produced an affordable high-performance car which sits alongside Clio and Mégane Renault Sport in the Renault Sport range. 2008 Twingo Renault Sport's compact proportions and incisive, assertive styling are
redolent of the Twingo Concept show car which was unveiled at the 2006 Paris Show. Twingo's existing lines are underpinned by a more curvaceous, athletic stance and the newcomer's sporty calling is further emphasized by its wider front and rear wings, profiled sills and spoiler.
Driving pleasure and sporting sensations during everyday motoring
2008 Twingo Renault Sport is the response of Renault Sport Technologies' experts to a
twopronged challenge, namely to deliver sports performance while at the same time ensuring that the new car is easy to use on a day-to-day basis. 2008 Twingo Renault Sport's chassis is both responsive and finely tuned to provide precise, balanced sports handling, while specific work on the pitch of its new 133hp 1,598cc engine reveals its punchy temperament.
The public will have the opportunity to examine 2008 Twingo Renault Sport in further detail at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show.
