Renault Twingo Gordini Renaultsport

The Gordini name returns with the introduction of the Twingo Gordini Renaultsport.  This latest version of Renault’s pocket rocket takes a fresh stance on the design cues long-associated with the Gordini world.

Just as before, the combination of French blue, white racing stripes and stylish, quilted leather upholstery forms an integral part of the package -but with a distinctly modern touch.

The latest Renault hot hatch will appeal to customers looking for a distinctive car with an assertive character, exuding an unmistakably French feel - a fitting tribute to everything for which the Gordini signature stands.

Twingo Gordini Renaultsport is premiered until 10 January 2010, at the Atelier Renault on the Champs-Elysees, in Paris, as part of the prestigious showroom's 'Christmas in Blue' exhibition.   It will go on sale across Europe from March 2010.

Gordini ‘look’ salutes rich heritage

Twingo Gordini Renaultsport features a gleaming Malta Blue metallic finish, plus two white racing stripes, in keeping with tradition.  The front and rear bumpers are enhanced by gloss black centre sections, while the fog lamp surrounds, exterior door mirror housings and rear tailgate spoiler are all picked out in a contrasting white finish.

'Gordini Series' badging either side refers back to the 1960’s heyday of the Gordini Cup in France when the qualifying heats of the different race meetings were known as series.

This exclusive exterior styling package is rounded off by 17-inch alloy wheels with a polished face and a choice of the inner rim finished in either blue or black.

Prices will be announced nearer the time of the launch in the UK in March.
