Renault Twingo Gordini R.S. – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nA few weeks back, Renault announced plans to revive the classic Gordini badge<\/a> for its new high performance variants and now, the first model has been unveiled. Based on the automaker’s smallest model, the Renault Twingo Gordini R.S. should prove to be mighty quick, with a 133 hp 1.6-liter engine to twist its 17 inch front wheels, along with an uprated suspension package and brakes. <\/p>\n

Outside, the Twingo is coated in the historic blue hue that adorned French racing cars in the days before corporate sponsor colors took everything over, and buyers can also opt for pearlescent black to go with the white accents. Renault is displaying the car at their “Christmas in Blue” exhibit in Paris through the holidays and deliveries will start in March. Pricing hasn’t been announced, but it will surely come in at a level that would make American consumers blanche for such a small car.<\/p>\n
