A Real Racing Car – Renault TwinRun

At the 71st running of the Monaco Grand Prix last year Renault showed it’s TwinRun concept for the first time.

The TwinRun concept vehicle is billed as a real racing car inspired by the competition spec mid engined 1980 Renault 5 Turbo and Renault 2001 Clio V6 Sport.

The body is built around a competition spec tubular chassis.

Power comes from a mid mounted 320hp V6 derived from a Nissan design and sourced from the Renault Mégane Trophy.

TwinRun is said to be capable of accelerating from rest to 62.5 mph in 4.2 seconds and top speed around 155mph.

Regretably this would appear to be a strict one off.
