It looks like something the boys from Top Gear would create :lol:

I Renault are looking to cut cost... doesnt mean they have to cut their cars in half!

 

[Araf]

Would go pretty well with a 197 lump in it though.

That's is actually just a Twingo but cut almost in half!!!! Lol! Same lights front and bk! And pretty much same body panels by the looks of things!!!

Odd little contraption!!

Probably a smart with Renault body in testing

+1 yup. now the facelift is in the wild im sure we will be seeing some more of these type of things while they are testing for the next twingo.

will be testing the platform and the twingo front end just fit.

Shame but true

Renault, the maker of the worlds greatest fwd hatches... Making rwd city cars boo

 

[weebob]

I am amazed that with all the cost cutting they aren't running the existing twingo platform into the ground. Not much wrong with it, all the reviews state how well it handles no matter the variant in comparison to the competition. Maybe they cant drag up the safety rating to meet new standards.

Just needs a new range of engines, lot of work on the interior and now thanks to the face(palm)lift a new exterior...

Looks like a cut and shut twingo lol

 

[manofhow]

it looks like renaults version of the 107 etc trio

 

[maggi200]

I'd put money on the engine being in the rear and it being rwd. The short overhangs don't suit the twingo at all!
