Twingo Gordini R.S. features a gleaming Malte Blue lacquered metallic finish, plus two white racing stripes, in keeping with tradition.

The front and rear bumpers are enhanced by gloss black details, while the foglamp surrounds, exterior mirror housings and lip spoiler are all picked out in a contrasting white finish.

'Gordini Series' badging either side refers back to the heyday of the Gordini Cup when the qualifying heats of the different meetings were known as séries.

This exclusive exterior styling package is rounded off by a choice of either blue or black diamond-effect 17-inch aluminium alloy wheels.

To ensure that it befits Gordini's glorious motor sport heritage, the latest addition to the Twingo range is based on the same performance/equipment package as the Renault Sport version:

• 'Sport' chassis with 17-inch wheels for outstanding road-holding performance that is equally suited to everyday motoring,
• a feisty, responsive 1.6-litre 133hp petrol powerplant with a distinctive, specially-tuned engine pitch under acceleration,
• precise, incisive steering for even greater fun at the wheel,
• powerful, durable braking performance.
