The range-topping Gordini version of Renault’s Twingo proved that hot hatches don’t have to be big to be great fun. It also had the best options list of the range, with cruise control, climate control, heated mirrors, leather seats, 17” wheels over the standard 16” items, rear spoiler and metallic paint. With strong and reliable engines and gearboxes, Renault sold around 250 Twingo RS models a year from its 2008 launch until production ended in 2013. Available with either a 1.2-litre or 1.6-litre engine, performance was respectable with 0-60 mph possible in around 9.7 or 8.7 seconds respectively and a top speed of 117 mph / 125 mph.
Finished in Malta Blue with half leather interior, this example has covered a warranted 67,000 miles from new and features arguably the more desirable 1.2-litre engine, developing some 100 bhp, allied to a 5-speed manual gearbox. It was previously subject of a Category N insurance loss in 2024 but was subsequently repaired and a new MOT should have been obtained by the time of sale. Offered with a current Swansea V5c document this pocket rocket Twingo Gordini is ready to entertain.
