Yeah i agree with the retail, but anyone who pays retail for a Renault is silly.

pity the rear is a bit of an afterthought, but some other nice touches, will appeal to a market thats for sure, but dont think it will be as successful as the 197/ 225/230

well for me it would be perfect, small quick car, looks great,potentialy easier to insure than a 2.0 clio.
with some work done, what kind of performance you guys reckon is achievable

Lol fair play, that's a fact. Although my local dealer tells me renault won't let them do as much off the Twingo yet as they can with the Clio. Doesn't bother me, I mean there are shedloads of pre-reg Twingo GTs out there with 10 miles or so on the clock at about 7-7.5k, so yeah, a few months after the RS Twingo comes out you'll no doubt be able to get it closer to 10k, which in all likelihood you won't be able to do with its main rival, the 500 Abarth.

Where? I've not found one for less than £8500 or thereabouts yet even with 2k on the clock. So maybe £8k, but certainly nowhere near £7k.

Bloody typical. I saw at least 3 on auto trader last week at no more than 7.5k and now the cheapest one's £8366. Grrrr, I retract my previous statement.:mad:

Although IMHO it needs silvervisions and the exhaust is pretty ghey........Rear end needs more tlc, but ive got my heart set on it now :)

i think it looks very nice, they've done a great job!

Just hope the interior is given the same treatment.

saw a twingo on the road other day, from the front it looks 'cute' with its bulbly bulging round headlamps and the overall front shape, but towards the back its like WTF??.. rs looks cool

Its no even a bench in the rear its two seats im sure

That's the point, two more supportive seperate seats which can be moved around individually. It's got bags of room in the back too. The front seats are up there with the standard ones in a 197, and they're fantastic.

odd thing to say!

I bet it doesent handle properly though. I come back to the good old saying:

"you can't polish a turd"


Same chassis as the Clio 2. So, same as your Ph2 172 judging from the details under your Av heh ;)

Be interesting to see what the tuners can remap the 1.2T too as the 1.6 in the RS only has like 35bhp more as standard or something. Remapped 1.2T with the extra torque for £2k less list price anyone heh.

yup, the exhaust looks poo for something with hot hatch aspirations.


could do with a 197 style diffuser and twin exhaust
