The new Twingo RenaultSport 133 will cost £11,550 when it arrives in September. For an extra £650 buyers can go for an optional ‘Cup’ chassis with lowered ride height, stiffer springs and dampers plus 17” alloy wheels.
The RenaultSport 133 has a normally-aspirated 1.6-litre naturally-aspirated engine developing 130bhp and promises to be an excellent bargain hot hatch. Renault has gone to the trouble of extending the wheel arches and sills to make it different to the GT and we’ve ended up with a pretty good-looking hatch.
It comes with an ESP which can be manually deactivated and RenaultSport chassis with 16” alloy wheels and 195/45 tyres as standard. Inside there are aluminium pedals, a RenaultSport leather steering wheel, RenaultSport rev counter with gearshift indicator light, RenaultSport front seats with enhanced lateral support and distinctive orange seatbelts.
All retail customers who place an order for a Twingo RenaultSport 133 within the first 133 days of ordering opening will also receive a voucher for a free place on a RenaultSport trackday in 2009.
