Twingo Renaultsport RB7

Renault has unveiled the limited edition Twingo Renaultsport Red Bull Racing RB7 which, if nothing else, boasts one of the longest model names around.

Built to celebrate the Red Bull team’s 2011 Formula 1 Constructors’ title, it’ll be available in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland and Japan. Curiously though, that list doesn’t include the country where Red Bull’s F1 outfit is based - the UK.

The specification includes 17” Gana wheels, the stiffer and lower Cup chassis, a chequered flag roof decal and Pearlescent Black paintwork with contrasting Sirius Yellow details. Outputs from the 1.6 litre engine are unchanged at 131 bhp (98 kW / 133 PS) and 160 Nm (118 lb/ft) of peak torque.

On the inside, the Renaultsport Monitor telemetry system and an upgraded stereo are fitted as standard, plus there’s a numbered plaque and a special Renaultsport gear knob inlay.

The Twingo Renaultsport Red Bull Racing RB7 will be available to order from June in all applicable markets except France, where customers are going to have to wait until September. Prices have yet to be confirmed.
