During the media presentation of the 2nd generation Twingo in Renault officials were unwilling to disclose any other information, but it’s obvious that the RS will wear a more powerful engine than the Twingo GT which is equipped with a 100Hp 1.2-liter supercharged motor. Rumors have it that the supped up Twingo will receive a normally aspirated 1.6-liter engine with an output of 130Hp, but on the other hand we find it hard to believe that Renault won’t develop a turbocharged engine for the RS which will compete against cars in the mini GTi (Fiat 500 Abarth) and the entry-level supermini GTi (Suzuki Swift Sport) segments. As for appearance, besides the Twingo Concept shown at the 2006 Paris Show, a screen shot from the presentation revealing the lower front end of the RS has circulated in the internet giving us an idea of what to expect.
