Renault Reinvents Twingo Thinking Big When It Comes to Its Small Cars PRESS KIT GENEVA MOTOR SHOW March 4, 2014 GENEVA MOTOR SHOW 2014 RENAULT REINVENTS TWINGO THINKING BIG WHEN IT COMES TO ITS SMALL CARS Renault has taken a fresh, bold look at Twingo. Twenty years after the introduction of the original, Renault is proud to take the wraps off the third generation of its small city car which has undergone an in-depth transformation. In addition to its cheerful expression, New Twingo is available in a choice of four body colours and is packed with innovations. Extensive personalisation opportunities are naturally part of the programme. Thanks to the positioning of the engine at the rear: New Twingo is agile and boasts a turning circle of 8.65m, which is an average one metre less than that of its direct rivals. New Twingo is particularly roomy thanks to the 13cm that have added to its cabin length, even though the newcomer’s overall length has been shortened by 10cm. New Twingo is practical, thanks to its five-door architecture, clever stowage solutions, totally flat floor and a surprisingly long maximum load length of 2.20m. It is the only city car capable of carrying a boxed Swedish book shelf... New Twingo’s best-in-class forward vertical field of view and high-up driving position are particularly appreciable when driving in built-up areas. 1 The boot conceals either a normally-aspirated or a turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine. Both powerplants are fuel efficient and deliver punchy performance. New Twingo is connected and is the only city car to offer a choice of two multimedia systems: the R & GO radio (in conjunction with a smartphone) and R-Link Evolution®. Inspired by the legacies of the innovative Renault 5 Turbo and the original Twingo, New Twingo good humouredly illustrates Renault’s small car expertise. In addition to the unveiling of New Twingo, Renault has chosen the 2014 Geneva Motor Show to present other new developments in its small car range, with the focus on some of the fields in which the brand enjoys extensive expertise, namely the world of sporty cars, electric vehicles and engine innovations. On display for the first time are: - Clio R.S. 200 EDC Monaco GP: this limited edition targets a sporty and refined clientele. It is instantly recognisable by its black roof, black exterior flourishes, Pearlescent White or Platinum Grey metallic finish (depending on market) and richly equipped interior. - Renault’s new Flexi Charger, a cable which allows ZOE owners to plug their electric vehicle into an ordinary household power socket. Renault has also introduced a new Z.E. Access battery lease plan with prices starting from €49 per month for low-mileage motorists. - The new Energy dCi 160 Twin Turbo is a showpiece of downsizing and twin turbocharging. This 1,598cc Diesel engine delivers the driving enjoyment of a two-litre powerplant, but with fuel consumption reduced by 25%. The fuel efficiency of the Energy dCi 160 Twin Turbo makes it ideal for larger vehicles. It will notably be available for the brand’s upcoming top of the range models. 2 CONTENTS 01 NEW TWINGO: FUN TO DRIVE, ULTRA-MANOEUVRABLE AND SPACIOUS 4 Colourful and vibrant… the Twingo spirit is back! 04 New Twingo: roomy, practical and ultra-manoeuvrable 07 A fun-loving, energising and connected interior 10 A Twingo for all tastes: exterior and interior personalisation 12 Renault’s small-car success story continues… 13 Technical data in brief 14 02 A NEW LIMITED EDITION IN THE SPIRIT OF GENTLE(WO)MAN DRIVERS: 15 CLIO R.S. 200 EDC MONACO GP Clio R.S. 200 EDC treated to the Monaco GP touch 15 Style, a stunning specification and sporty elegance 15 03 RENAULT, NUMBER ONE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES SALES IN EUROPE 17 ZOE offers charging on a domestic plug 17 Z.E.

True to the spirit of its predecessors, not only is New Renault Twingo colourful and fun to drive, but it also combines a dynamic stance with a particularly endearing expression. The four body colours revealed at the Geneva Motor Show echo those that were available for the first-generation version, while New Twingo’s personalisation programme will also enable owners to express a wide range of personalities, from sporty or ‘vintage’, to feminine or masculine. Colour is everywhere inside the cabin too, even down to the numerous stowage areas. “New Renault Twingo was inspired not only by the original Twingo but also by the Renault 5. It is a modern take on the city car theme with the accent on innovation in terms of its lines and architecture. New Twingo is a fun, playful and vibrant city car. It is ultra-manoeuvrable, roomy and immensely practical. You’ll be itching to get behind the wheel and take it out for a drive.” Laurens van den Acker, Head of Industrial Design, Renault PLAYFUL, ENERGETIC STYLING Like its forebear, New Twingo comes in a choice of four vibrant ‘pop’ colours (light blue, white, yellow and red), an unmistakable sign that the Twingo spirit is well and truly back! New Twingo fits with Renault’s new design strategy and represents the ‘Play’ petal of the brand’s lifecycle-based plan, building on ideas previously explored by the Twin’Z and Twin’Run concept cars which were presented in the first quarter of 2013. New Twingo’s highly original architecture ensures exceptionally agile handling, along with a cheery expression, a unique profile thanks to its short bonnet and a roomy passenger compartment. At the same time, it features compact proportions and measures just 3.59 metres from bumper to bumper. Yet thanks to its short front and rear overhangs and the positioning of the wheels at the car’s extreme corners, its wheelbase is 2.49 metres – a record for the class and a pointer to its spacious interior. 4 “New Twingo’s layout, and in particular the positioning of the engine at the rear, has resulted in original, interesting proportions. The challenge for the designers was to come up with nicely balanced forms that are perceived as compact yet suggest a roomy cabin. The very short nose and the positioning of the wheels play contribute significantly to this impression.” Kenneth Melville, Small Car Design Director (Twingo, Clio, Captur) EXPRESSIVE STYLING New Twingo’s font end features the brand’s trademark styling cues, including a prominent Renault logo set to a black background. The new city car’s distinctive personality is emphasised by its ribbed bonnet and big headlights topped by direction indicators shaped like eyelids. New Twingo’s assertive expression is further enhanced by circular daytime running lights marked out by four points of light. A broad air inlet set into the lower portion of the bumper provides the finishing touch to New Twingo’s expressive face. “We wanted to ensure that New Twingo was instantly recognisable, both day and night.” Raphaël Linari, Lead Exterior Designer, Renault Twingo The shoulder line stretches the full length of the sides, from the front indicators to the tail. This signature feature line, which is more prominent where it passes over the wheel arches, especially at the rear, plays an important part in the solid, robust feel that New Twingo exudes. The handles for the rear doors are concealed, giving the impression of a three-door car, yet New Twingo – for the first time in the model’s history – has five doors. Depending on version, the car’s proportions are highlighted by decal graphics which emphasise its dynamic yet robust silhouette. 5 Flush-fitting rear lights follow the profile of New Twingo’s shoulders and appear to form an integral part of the broad glass hatchback which characterises the rear of the car. A MODERN DESIGN INSPIRED BY A RICH HERITAGE “We were heavily inspired by the unique legacy of the Renault 5 and the original Twingo. Thanks to their unique personalities and enchanting expressions, these two models influenced our approach to the design of our new city car which is nonetheless solidly grounded in today’s thinking.” Kenneth Melville, Small Car Design Director (Twingo, Clio, Captur) The shape of the headlights, the pronounced shoulders at the rear and the design of the hatch are all reminiscent of the Renault 5 Turbo, the R5’s emblematic rear-engined sporting derivative. Some of the graphics envisaged for personalising New Twingo pay tribute to this heritage. 6 NEW TWINGO: ROOMY, PRACTICAL AND ULTRA-MANOEUVRABLE Thanks to the bold decision to locate the engine at the rear, New Twingo is able to offer far greater agility and a bigger cabin than would be expected from a car with an overall length of just 3.59 metres. Outstanding agility and a turning circle of just 8.65 m Agile handling is the foremost benefit of this architecture. The positioning of the engine at the rear gave the designers more freedom to work on the front end.

In 1902 a Renault Type K won its first victory in the Paris-to-Vienna road race, propelled by a four cylinder engine producing slightly more than 40 horsepower. It beat the more powerful Mercedes and Panhard racers because they broke down, proving very early on that to finish first, first you have to finish. In that same year Renault patented the turbocharger, something it had not forgotten in 1977 when it was the first manufacturer to race a turbocharged Formula One car. The RS01 was initially nicknamed the 'Yellow Teapot' by amused rival teams, but intensive development eventually saw it scoring fourth place in the 1978 US Grand Prix, and a pole position the following year. Within three years of the Yellow Teapot’s arrival most rival teams were also using turbochargers. Although today’s Renaultsport RS27-2013 engine is a normally aspirated V8, as required by the regulations, from 2014 it will be replaced by a highly advanced, downsized 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 featuring a pair of powerful energy recuperation systems that feed twin electric motors. These include an Energy Recovery System (ERS-K) that harvests Kinetic energy, and a second Energy Recovery System (ERS-H) that captures Heat.

For more than 115 years Renault has embraced the challenge of motorsport in multiple guises. It recognised the value of competitive activities for technical and commercial gain: in December 1898 Louis Renault drove the Type A Voiturette up the steepest street in Paris, the rue Lepic. The first orders for the ground-breaking car with direct drive flooded in. In 1902 the nimble, lightweight Type K, fitted with Renault’s first 4-cylinder engine, took victory in the Paris-Vienna rally. Again, many more cars were sold. Going through the years, in 1977 Renault introduced the first-ever turbocharged car to F1.

  • Renault 5 Turbo 2.Cdr
    20/08/2020 RENAULT 5 TURBO 2 RENAULT 5 WHO? TURBO 2 The French are renowned for their off the wall automove creaons, from the wacky to the sublime. There are a number of iconic cars that our Gallic cousins have fathered, including the Citroen DS and the Peugeot 205 T16. For our younger readers, the most modern form of transport dreamt up by the Francs has to be the rear engined and frankly mental Clio V6. A powerful engine, mid mounted, in a small shopping car. Crazy and novel idea, right? Well no, actually, because back in 1980 those crazy cats at Renault announced the Renault 5 Turbo. They were going to build 400 in order to homologate the Renault 5 to Group 4 rallying specificaon, and all would be mid engined and rear wheel drive, with a sweet lile 1.4 turbo powering it all. But the car was such a hit, that once all the homologaon cars were sold, people were clamouring for more. So they decided to remove all the fancy adjustable aluminium arms and expensive racy bits, in order to give the public what they wanted-a slightly more wallet friendly version. They would call it, imaginavely, the Turbo 2. Wrien by: Si McNally I Photography by: Ma Woods 20/08/2020 RENAULT 5 TURBO 2 The Turbo 2 was a pared down version of the uerly mental Turbo. Gone was the red and blue interior, the stunning Bertone seats replaced with the stock seats from the standard 5 Alpine in a muted grey hue.

    Press kit RENAULT : A TURBO SAGA FOR 40 YEARS July 15, 2019 From track to road, the turbo according to Renault To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Formula 1 victory of the first turbo engine, Renault invites you to discover, or rediscover, an exceptional range of turbocharged vehicles.
