It didn’t take long for Renault to release the first
special edition model of the facelifted Twingo — and it’s a very French one. That’s because it’s a partnership
between the carmaker and French sportswear brand le coq sportif. Suggestively
called the Twingo “le coq sportif,” the special edition model adopts the
brand’s specific design details which include France’s national colors.
There are more configurations available, but the
most, well, French one combines a white body color with asymmetrical side cabin
strips: the French colors on the left side extending to the roof of the car,
and le coq sportif’s logo on the right side. Other styling tweaks include the
red mirror caps, blue accents on the front grille, red accents on the rear
bumper, as well as the sports apparel brand’s badge integrated into the
protective side door moldings.
Inside, the 2019 Twingo le coq sportif welcomes
passengers with colors and materials specific to the sportswear company. The
door sills, floor mats, dashboard and gearstick bellows feature a unique
design, while an exclusive brushed aluminum plate marked “Twingo by le coq
sportif” is placed at the base of the gearstick.
The special edition Twingo is based on the
range-topping trim level and features the new Renault Easy Link 7-inch
infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, automatic
air conditioning, rearview camera with rear park assist, as well as automatic
headlights and wipers, among other things.
Available engines for the Twingo le coq sportif
include the SCe 75 and TCe 95 1.0-liter three-cylinder gasoline units, which
can be had with either a five-speed manual or a six-speed EDC dual-clutch
transmissions (available only for the turbo engine). The Renault Twingo le coq sportif
will be available this spring in Quartz White, Crystal White, Lunar Grey and
Star Black body colors.
