Following the recent launch of the flagship 265hp Trophy version of M�gane Renaultsport, its two smaller, but no less thrilling, performance siblings, Twingo and Clio Renaultsport, now welcome their own top-of-the-range versions, the �Silverstone GP� limited editions, on sale from 1st July 2011.
Renault UK has an existing relationship with Silverstone, the country�s most famous motor racing circuit and home of the British Grand Prix, through a fleet of Renaultsport trackday experience cars and the venue for several of the performance division�s trackdays, so it was only natural that the French marque took it as its latest inspiration.
Both new models have been specifically created for the UK market, still the largest home of Renault�s hot hatches worldwide, with only 50 of each available. The effusive Twingo Renaultsport 133, costs �14,995, while the top-of-the-range Clio Renaultsport 200 comes in at �19,995. With a wealth of extra equipment over the standard Renaultsport versions on which they�re based, both limited editions offer exceptional value-for-money, combined with added exclusivity.
Both cars share the same purposeful stance, as if they were specifically honed to grace the Silverstone tarmac. Each sits on lowered Cup Chassis with a striking combination of silver metallic paint and contrasting �Deep Black� details, including 17� alloy wheels (�Speedline� on the Clio), roof and door mirrors. Completing the exclusive look, both of the new limited edition Renaultsports also feature extra-tinted rear windows and Silverstone GP B-pillar badges inscribed with the new grand prix circuit map. The Twingo also benefits from a matching �Deep Black� rear spoiler and fog light surrounds.
The pocket-rocket Twingo notably gains an all-new Renaultsport full stainless steel exhaust system, providing a suitable throaty soundtrack to match its visual presence.
On the inside, the two new versions boast a unique numbered interior plaque (1-50), Renaultsport Monitor onboard performance tracking system and grey and black Renaultsport carpet mats. The Clio also features Renaultsport Recaro front seats, Bluetooth and multi-functional TunePoint for portable music players.
Track-bred from the outset, owners of both new limited editions also receive a free Renaultsport Experience at Silverstone, usually �175, so that they can explore the full handling and performance potential of their new metal in a real circuit environment, but under the expert tuition of a fully-qualified instructor.
