Looks quite funky - not sure about the projected £12,500.00 price though. It would have to be seriously good to justify that, even when discounts are applied.

there is a lot of guess work going on there!

 

[clionoob]

looks too much like the c2 imo!

I hope they make the engine a 1.4 turbo,then it will be stronger for the re-map.Then it will be a fun little car

i heard they were going to put a 172 engine in one..

i have no seen a twingo on the road yet :/ !

 

[Ian_182]

Do you mean a 2.0 engine.I dont think they make the old 172 engine anymore.They changed a fair bit of that engine making the 182

 

[oneseventwo]

They won't put too big an engine in it, as the don't want it to compete with the 197.

 

[Ian_182]

I wish they would so we could all get back to proper little hot hatches again.Not the lardy arse ones that are coming out nowadays

Me neither - I always thought it would be great if Renault took the old Clio chassis (as they have done with the Twingo), stuck the 182 engine in it and popped on a small coupe body (Puma/Tigra size). Then sell it for £12,000.00 because it all old tech. Maybe they could even put a an Alpine badge on it?
