Renault’s sport division has teamed up with Red Bull Racing to develop the ultra funky limited edition version of the Renault Twingo RS. Meet the Twingo RS Red Bull Racing RB7.

The Twingo RS Red Bull Racing RB7 is somewhat inspired by F1 racing and features a F1 style blade with larger rear wheel arches and a spoiler and diffuser. This new model comes in a deep black paintwork contrasting with the yellow blade , side mirrors and lip spoiler. The Twingo RS Red Bull Racing RB7 also features chequered-patterned roof and door decals in the Red bull F1 team colours.

Under the hood, the Twingo RS 1.6 litre petrol engine awaits you. Pushing out 98kW at 6750rpm, this Twingo will get your heart racing. The Cup Chassis lowers the Twingo by 4mm, enhancing its performance compared to the Sport model.

Like the Renault Twingo RS, the interior also features yellow stitching on the steering wheel, dashboard and seats. The dashboard includes a RS monitor sharing inspiration from telemetry systems used in motorsport.

The limited edition Twingo RS Red Bull Racing RB7 also incorporates a numbered ‘FIA 2011 World Champion’ plaque as well as a Renault Sport logo on the gear lever.

The Twingo RS Red Bull Racing RB7 limited edition will be available in 2013.
