The 10,000th Twingo Renault Sport to Come Off the Line is a Gordini R.S. Version

PARIS, FRANCE – October 17, 2011: Marketed in some 20 countries across Europe, as well as in South Africa and Japan, Twingo R.S. is manufactured at Renault’s Novo mesto plant, and the 10,000th car has just rolled out of the Slovenian factory.

Mirroring the figures of the R.S. versions of Clio and Mégane, the sporty version of Twingo has accounted for 1.3 percent of the model’s total sales since its launch in September 2008. Thanks to its fiery 133-horsepower 1.6 16V engine, responsive, agile handling and benchmark braking performance, it has contributed to bringing the world of Renault Sport to an even broader audience. The Gordini R.S. version is emblematic of this success and represents more than 50 percent of the Twingo R.S. sales mix.

In France, Twingo Gordini R.S. has won over a younger clientele and also appeals to more lady buyers.

Twingo R.S. is due to reach the market in spring 2012 when Sirius Yellow will join the list of available body colours.
