The two main things we"ve asked of Renault in the last couple of years are 1: for a Renault Sport Clio with a manual gearbox and 2: for a hot Twingo. Last month it pulled the wraps off the former, and now it"s given us the latter. Kind of.This is the Renault Twingo GT, a slightly hotter version of TG"s 2014 City Car of The Year and effectively the same car underneath as the rear-engined, rear-wheel drive Smart ForFour Brabus, which was revealed a few weeks ago.The Twingo has the same 898cc turbocharged three-cylinder engine, the same 108hp and the same 125lb ft of torque (up from 89bhp and 100lb ft) as the Smart. But while the Smart is only available with an automatic gearbox (complete with launch control), the Twingo is manual-only. Good.
