Renault has launched range-topping, limited edition versions of the Twingo Renaultsport 133 and Clio Renaultsport 200. The Silverstone GP models are available to order now with just 50 examples of each available.
Created for the UK, the largest market for Renault's hot hachbacks, the Silverstone models are inspired by the link between the French manufacturer and the famous circuit. A fleet of Renaultsport cars are used for trackday experiences at the venue.
The limited edition models can be identified by the combination of silver paint and 'Deep Black' alloy wheels (Speedlines on the Clio), roof and door mirrors. The Twingo also gets a black tailgate spoiler and front fog lamp surrounds, as well as a stainless steel exhaust. Both models also carry Silverstone GP B-pillar badges inscribed with a map of the circuit.
Each car comes with a numbered plaque to show its place in the series. The interior also features a Renaultsport Monitor onboard performance tracking system and branded carpet mats. For the Clio there are also Recaro seats, Bluetooth and multi-functional TunePoint for portable music players.
Prices for the Silverstone GP limited edition models are £14,995 for the Twingo and £19,995 for the Clio. As part of the package, buyers of either car will also receive a free Renaultsport Experience at Silverstone, which usually costs £175.
