The launch of Renault Twingo Gordini 133 in Europe brings a
luxury car with the Gordini 'signature' to the light car segment. Developed by Renaultsport, this stylish
small car exudes the spirit of Gordini, with a modern twist.
Twingo Gordini 133 features a Malta Blue metallic finish with twin white racing stripes, in keeping with
its famous predecessors. The front and rear bumpers are enhanced by gloss black centre sections, while the
fog light surrounds, door mirrors housing and rear spoiler are all highlighted in a contrasting white
finish.
This exclusive exterior styling package is completed by 17 inch Gordini alloy wheels with a polished
face and black inner rim.
The same Gordini spirit continues inside thanks to Renaultsport seats with extra lateral support clothed
in dark grey leather with blue details and Gordini-embossed logo. Blue detailing continues on to the door
panels, the gearlever gaiter and Gordini-badged gearknob. The steering wheel is finished in blue and dark
grey leather with two white stripes to indicate the centre point, whilst the rev counter pod is also in
blue with a white face.
To ensure that it delivers performance as well as looks, the latest addition to the Twingo range is
based on the same performance and equipment package as the Renaultsport 133 version:
- 'Sport' chassis with 17 inch wheels for outstanding road-holding that is equally suited to everyday motoring
- a feisty, responsive 1.6 litre 133 hp petrol engine with a distinctive,specially-tuned exhaust
- precise, incisive steering for even greater fun at the wheel
- powerful, durable braking
In addition to the current Renaultsport 133 version, Twingo Gordini 133 features climate control,
automatic headlight and wiper activation, cruise control, speed limiter, ESC, 4x20W radio-CD with fingertip
steering wheel-mounted remote control and separate display, Bluetooth connectivity, multifunctional
TunePoint for personal music players (iPod, MP3) and extra-tinted rear windows.

Gordini: Renault’s sporting heritage
Amédée Gordini, who developed almost 200,000 Renault vehicles over a 20 year period, achieved some of the
brand’s greatest sporting achievements.
Born in 1899, within a year of Louis Renault building his very first vehicle, Amédée Gordini was
fascinated by automobiles and motor racing from a very young age. After working as a racing mechanic in his
teens, Gordini developed his own sports racing and Grand Prix cars before being engaged by Renault in the
mid-1950s. The Renault 8 Gordini with its bright blue paintwork and twin white stripes was one of his most
successful and iconic cars, finishing 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th in the 1964 Tour of Corsica rally. In 1966, the
1,300 cc version heralded the Gordini Cup one-make race series and the blueprint for all single-make motor
sport championships.
