Renault has added a new version of its Renaultsport Twingo 133 Cup to the hot hatch range.
The latest model keeps the same 131bhp 1.6-litre petrol engine and Cup suspension set-up as its higher-specced sister model, but it does without air conditioning, automatic headlamp and wiper operation, extra tinted rear windows and features a one-piece bench in place of the usual independent sliding rear seats.

This means buyers get all of the performance and dynamics of the more expensive car, but for £700 less.
The Cup chassis rides 4mm lower than the standard Renaultsport set-up, and it gets tuned damper settings and 10 per cent stiffer spring rates at the front and rear.
It gets 17-inch aluminium wheels, which can now be coated in gloss black paint as a £175 option. The Galcier White paint pictured here is also available as a £150 option for all Renaultsport Twingo models.
The Renaultsport Twingo 133 Cup costs £11,795 and it will be available to order from 1 October. Deliveries are expected to start at the beginning of November.

Re: New Renaultsport Twingo 133 Cup
It must be a good little hot hatch.
+1 for a larger offer.
White of course ... It looks promising.
Thank you Renault Sport for your hatches!

As were the XR2 and the Saxo VTR (in fact didn't you get free insurance with the little Citroen at one point?)
Re: New Renaultsport Twingo 133 Cup
Be fair their Grandparents were at it in XR2s and the little Citroen Saxo has a lot to answer for.
