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.

Only Europeans could think of a 133hp tin can as “driving excitement”.
Oooo, it hits 62mph in 8.5 seconds, but it’s so tiny that it feels like warp 9! That’s performance!

What’s wrong with gay? Some men are attracted to other men rectum and sweaty testicles. The softer side of Democratic party fits that stereotype. I sort of like the car and do hope it will come here incarnated as Nissan.

Wow, just when we thought the USA was wakening up to the rest of the world, we realise that they are still a bunch of ignorant islanders. Those “goombahs” are the Renault F1 team drivers: Nelson Piquet Junior and two-times world champion Fernando Alonso. F1 is the world’s (that’s world as in the real sense of the word by the way, not as in “World Series”) most watched sporting series in the world by the way, and its leading drivers are the highest-paid sportsmen.

Bah! Renault always succeeds in one thing: making the UGLIEST MOTHERF*CKING vehicles on this side of the galaxy. This stupid little french car is yet another proof of their grotesque designs. Everyone involved in the realization of this atrocious automobile should be executed under the guillotine immediately!

One of the perks of the Renault F1 job is being forced to do photo shoots with a completely laughable “performance” car? Where do I sign up?

“most watched”, “highest-paid”,

“sportsman”

F1 isn’t a “sport.” Neither is golf, or pingpong.

True, golf isn’t a sport either, but Tiger Woods could kick both of those french-homos’ spunkdrippin’ asses with all his golfballs tied behind his back.
