Renault’s Stripped-Out Twingo RS Cup

Renault’s up for the Cup! The French firm has announced details of a stripped-out model of their Twingo RS.

Engineers have ditched the air-conditioning, sliding rear bench and the auto headlights and wipers to ensure the all-new Twingo RS Cup is as light as possible. Although no weight-loss figure has been confirmed, expect the Cup to be around 30 kg lighter than the RS. In addition, a few pennies have been shaved off the price – so UK buyers can drive off in their new car for GBP11 795.

For the money, you benefit from the Cup lowered suspension pack, tuned dampers and 17-inch alloy wheels with an Anthracite finish. The 98 kW 1,6-litre engine is unchanged, so 0 – 100 km/h still takes 8.7 seconds and it hits 200 km/h. European buyers can place their orders now, however we doubt our local demand will be enough to persuade Renault to offer the little fire-cracker here.
