Geneva 2008: Twingo Renault Sport so cute you might want two or three

This is another in a long line of European cars we just can’t buy in the States, but that we’d give our left lug nuts to drive on a daily basis. The recently unveiled Twingo Renault Sport joins a group of euro cars that combine economy and fun, with an emphasis on sporty looks and handling to match. If this sounds like your kind of thing, you’ll be upset to know that it still isn’t coming here. For masochists, you can read more about the Twingo Sport in the press release after the jump, but the short version is that this third Renault Sport model is based on the new Twingo that was unveiled here in Geneva last year. Checking the Renault Sport box on the order form adds a 133-hp 1.6L motor to the tiny hatch. Add in Renault’s expert chassis tuning and the whole package should guarantee an exciting ride… for Europeans.
