Renault has announced two new special edition hot hatches. The Renaultsport Twingo RS and Clio RS Silverstone GP editions are on sale in the UK, just 50 of each in fact, and were announced in the run up to the 2011 British Formula 1 event at the country’s premier race circuit.
Both the Twingo RS and Clio RS ‘Silverstone GP’ sit on a lowered Cup Chassis and feature silver metallic paint and contrasting ‘Deep Black’ details, including the 17-inch alloy wheels, as well as on the roof and door mirrors. Other features include extra-tinted rear windows and Silverstone GP B-pillar badges inscribed with the new grand prix circuit map. The Twingo also benefits from a matching ‘Deep Black’ rear spoiler and fog light surrounds, as well as a full stainless steel exhaust system.
Inside the cabin, both cars feature numbered interior plaque (1-50), Renaultsport Monitor on-board performance tracking system, as well as grey and black Renaultsport floor mats. The Clio also features Renaultsport Recaro front seats, Bluetooth and multi-functional TunePoint for portable music players. Both cars come with a free Renaultsport Experience at Silverstone.
