White x Black Creates a Racing Yet French Chic Style



The "Twingo," which underwent a full model change last year, utilizes Smart components and is an RR (rear-engine, rear-drive) model. Among its variants, the "Twingo GT" is a compact sports model tuned by Renault Sport, Renault's motorsport division, for both its engine and chassis.

The 0.9-liter 3-cylinder engine produces a maximum output of 80 kW (109 ps), which is 14 kW greater than the standard model, and a maximum torque of 170 Nm (17.3 kgm), an increase of 35 Nm. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch).

Additionally, it is equipped with a Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system as a dedicated feature.

A total of 150 units are available. The price remains the same as the base model, with the MT version costing 2.29 million yen and the EDC version costing 2.39 million yen.
