Renault at the Paris Motor Show will present the Twingo concept — a replacement to the Panda compact car. The three-door hatch will be powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with output around 100 horsepower. The car features frameless windows — visible when the doors are open — and a panoramic glass roof. The concept interior features four bucket seats, though the production version will probably have a more standard seating configuration. Up front, the center console has a number of electronic interfaces, including a standard USB port. A television and computer are also featured. The exterior is likely very close to the production vehicle, minus the unusual color scheme. Gallery after the jump…

Looks ok for being a sub-sub-compact.

Renault already has a current Twingo. No such thing as a Renault Panda.

This is one manufacturer who’s styling always seems to be ugly, no matter what.

cars a joke, has a 1.2 litre engine with turbo and it’s only putting out a 100 horses, no tuner would look at at and no sane person would buy it. do yourself a favour scrap the idea.

Great little city car, twingo is a great original name.
Renaults all look fabulous, the detailing is usually spot in, unlike Chryslers and BMWs

The surfacing on this vehicle is impeccable, I think they should bring this to the US as a competitor to Aygo and ForTwo to relaunch Renault

What a cool looking little car. I’ll bet it’d sell here in the U.S. Maybe Renault would allow Ford to build and sell it here.

It’s a cool car…I’m not being any objective in any way, as I’ve always had a soft spot for Twingos. Frankly they’re quite ugly and the ride is so-so but they’re hard not to like when you’ve driven one around in the south of France.

Another stunner from Renault. The design team really knows how to delight the eye.
It’s not often a subcomapct has such a snarky nose.

Beats that grossness that Chevy calls Aveo by a long shot!

It surely does mertzen, but its the class below an Aveo

The exterior is pretty cool. The interior would get tiresome after a while, but this is a concept.
I wonder if they plan on making a Twingo Sport?

this twingo looks like what the new clio should have been – great concept, and hopefully they’ll stick to it for production…

Better than the original twingo… that thing was a ghastly joke.
