First sight of new Twingo 28 | 07 | 2011

THE IS THE FIRST official image of the Renault's facelifted Twingo. The car will be officially unveiled at September's Frankfurt Motor Show.

It's a bit of a quantum leap from the previous Twingo. The newcomer gets what Renault labels a stylistic renewal,” with big Nissan Juke-style fog lights and an enlarged and more vertically positioned Renault logo. According to the French manufacturer, the new look is in-keeping with the model’s “typically expressive front face.”

Although Renault's hasn't confirmed it yet, it's believed the biggest change under the bonnet is likely to be the addition of Renault’s new 0.9-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine, first seen in Renault’s R-Space concept at the Geneva show earlier this year.
