From Renault
Renault has launched a limited-edition version of Twingo R.S., the Twingo R.S. Red Bull Racing RB7 to celebrate the 2011 Formula 1 Constructors' world title.
This Twingo was developed by Renault Sport Technologies and features, amongst other things, a Cup chassis, black 17-inch Gana wheels, R.S. Monitor (on-board telemetry system) and a Renault Sport chequered-pattern roof decal.
The little Twingo is powered by a 1.6-litre, 16-valve four-cylinder engine that produces 133 horsepower at 6,750rpm and a peak torque of 160Nm at 4,400rpm.
The ‘Cup' chassis, which lowers the car's ride-height by 4mm compared to the ‘Sport' chassis and enhances performance by minimising weight transfer, targets customers seeking even greater enjoyment behind the wheel. The dampers and springs have been stiffened by 10 percent to improve the control of body roll.
The optional R.S. Monitor is a fun, practical system which takes its inspiration from the telemetry systems seen in motorsport. The data it displays assists drivers when they indulge in sporty driving.
The exclusivity of this limited edition version is reinforced by a numbered “FIA 2011 World Champion” plaque and a Renault Sport logo inlay for the gear lever knob.
