La Régie’s fun and funky town runabout got the 1,6-litre 16 V Renaultsport treatment in 2009 and the result was a punchy pocket rocket (with 98 kW and 160 N.m) perfectly in its element on twisty ribbons of blacktop. Tested for the August 2009 issue of CAR, the RS Twingo featured sportier bumpers and skirts, 16-inch rims and interior details such as a rev-counter behind the steering wheel, aluminium pedal rubbers adorned with pause, stop and play symbols and orange seatbelts. Look out for the RS in the upcoming “Coolest cars for under R120k” feature in CAR magazine. Click below to view the pages of the three-page classic test:
