How much weight was taken out of the Twingo 133 Cup ?

[Twingeroo]

Renault announced that the Cup version was lighter than the standard car ... it should be by quite a bit judging by the concessions made to lightness. But the literature I have appears to make no distinction between the weights of the two.

Renault say around 1050Kg's for the standard 133, the magazines quote around 980Kg's for the Cup, is this correct ?

 

[Twingeroo]

I've found another Test that says the Cup weighs in at 980Kg's ... so I guess the answer must be 70Kg's ...

i have a cup and in the decoments it says 1124kg

Thanks for this reply.
I have both the general Twingo manual and the Twingo Renaultsport Driver's Handbook .. this is not for the Cup because it includes the Multifunction Display which the Cup does not have.
Do you have a different manual ?
This gives all the dimensions including the unladen height, but not the weight.
The Renault brochure for the 133 says unladen 1049 kilos ... I'd love to see where your information comes from ?
Would the saving of the aircon / two back seats for a bench and all the other things only be 24 kilos ?

I have a "sport" gordini ph2, and it weighs at 1130kgs.

With fluids and a full tank of gas this checks out yeah

Thanks, I guess it depends upon how it is measured.

I think some manufacturers include a driver as well ... the Gordini had a lot of bells and whistles ...
