Renault has taken the wraps off of its new Twingo Renault Sport. The small, performance-minded hatch will fit in along side the Cilo and Mégane Renault Sport. The Twingo Renault Sport is based on the Twingo Concept shown at the 2006 Paris Motor Show.
The Twingo Renault Sport features a specially tuned chassis that is said to be tuned to provide precise, balanced sports handling, but still capable to handle everyday driving duties.

Power for the hot-hatch is provided by a 1.6L four-cylinder, producing 133 horsepower. Renault failed to mention any performance numbers, but the car’s low curb weight should make for some driving excitement.

Unfortunately, the Twingo Renault Sport will be for Euro-consumption only.

The Twingo Renault Sport will make its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
