Renaultsport Twingo 133 Cup (2009) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 05 October 2009 11:45

Renaultsport does a rather fine line in hot hatches. The outgoing R26R is amazing, the Clio 200 is brilliant, and we’re all fans of the tiny Twingo 133. And now there’s a new Renaultsport Twingo 133, the Cup. But I can already spec a Cup chassis on the Renaultsport Twingo 133, so what’s new? Pen and paper at the ready, ...

Renault Clio Cup (2008) CAR review

2.5

Nick Trott, 24 September 2008 09:00

The Clio Renaultsport Cup is the third Clio to receive the ‘Cup’ moniker. Following in the wheel tracks and skidmarks of the deeply entertaining Clio II 172 Cup and 182 Cup, the Clio Renaultsport 197 Cup features the same suspension set-up as the limited edition Clio 197 R27, taller 5th and 6th gear ratios and optional air conditioning. So, it’s ...

Renault Twingo Renaultsport 133 (2008) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 29 August 2008 15:18

Renault has just unleashed the Twingo Renaultsport. It's the £11,500 little brother to the Clio 197, so it's a bargain, but is it any good? A new-to-the-range 1.6-litre engine provides decent grunt, but the base car is boring to drive - let's find out if Renaultsport has worked a miracle. Forget the Mini Cooper, I want one of those Twingo ...

Fiat 500 Abarth (2008) CAR review and video

Steve Moody, 10 July 2008 08:44

Can the Fiat 500 Abarth live up to the hype? Now we've driven it, we have the answer. In the last year, no car launched anywhere has had the same impact on the buying public as the Fiat 500. It seems we just can’t get enough of its retro bubbliness, cheery smile and Italian chic. But if you feel a ...

Fiat Grande Punto Abarth (2007) CAR review

Simon Harris, 27 September 2007 04:00

Abarth? Am I right in thinking the last time I saw that name it was on a Fiat Stilo? Wash your mouth out! We don’t talk about that. Abarth has now been launched as a new brand in the Fiat stable, alongside the likes of Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati and Fiat. Fiat has owned Abarth outright since 1971, and the ...

Fiat Panda 100HP (2006) CAR review

Phil Ward, 02 November 2006 08:30

What’s this, surely not a hot Panda? Well it’s been a while since 100bhp constituted ‘hot’ but that’s essentially what you’re looking at. It’s been a while coming: when the upright Seicento replacement was first unveiled in October 2003 it was pulled along by fairly tame 1.1 and 1.2 petrol engines. Later, the torquier 1.3JTD arrived but even then, the ...
