The Renault Sport versions of Twingo figure are the segment's best-selling small sporting models and contribute to promoting Twingo's dynamic image.

Twingo Gordini R.S. combines the very best that the Twingo line-up has to offer with an indisputable French touch. The car is based on the same performance/equipment package as the Renault Sport version, but features a gleaming Malte Blue lacquered metallic finish, plus two white racing stripes. The front and rear bumpers are enhanced by gloss black details, while the foglamp surrounds, exterior mirror housings and lip spoiler are all picked out in a contrasting white finish. There’s also 'Gordini Series' badging on sides, and this exclusive exterior styling package is rounded off by a choice of either blue or black diamondeffect 17-inch aluminium alloy wheels.

The same Gordini spirit prevails inside with blue and black quilted, Gordini-badged leather upholstery, blue leather door panel inserts, blue and black leather steeringwheel with two white stripes to indicate the centre point, blue gearlever bellows and Gordini-badged gearlever knob, blue on white rev-counter and trimmed dashboard cowl with visible stitching.

Prices will be published when order books open in France on February 15, 2010. Then the Twingo Gordini Renault Sport will go on sale across Europe, starting from March 2010.
