Twingo CC is ready to go

OFFICIAL: Renault confirm that new drop-top will arrive in 2010

It's official! Renault has confirmed that the Twingo CC will make its public debut later this year, before going on sale in 2010.

We bought you spy shots of the car – described as a spiritual successor to the Ford Puma. And more details were revealed to one of Auto Express’s sister titles at a recent event in Germany.

Entry variants are slated to be fitted with the 100bhp 1.2-litre TCE unit used in the Twingo GT. Also, a flagship car would incorporate the Twingo RS’s 131bhp 1.6. But there is still some uncertainty over the exact engine range, due to Renault’s intention to cut the emissions of its entire vehicle line-up.

Further options being discussed include a 900cc three-cylinder petrol and an upmarket 140bhp 1.6-litre diesel.

It’s most likely that the first versions of the car will be built at Renaultsport’s factory in Dieppe, and that the planned small production runs will make the car an instant classic.
