The special edition Renault Twingo Gordini was unveiled a couple of months ago, but now we've got the full skinny on the pricing and spec.
It will cost £14,500 when it goes on sale in April. That's about £2,000 more than the standard Twingo 133, which is itself £500 over the stripped out Cup edition.
The extra money is buying exclusivity for a start, as only 200 examples will hit UK shores. In terms of tangibles, Gordini buyers will get a special blue paintjob with white stripes, white for the fog surrounds, mirror caps and rear spoiler, and 17-inch polished alloys.
Inside, the seats are embossed, some blue detailing features, the steering wheel has the centre point marked, and the rev counter is white-faced. And of course there's a numbered plaque to point at when your partner asks why you just spent £14,500.
The kit level is comprehensive for that. It gets climate control, auto lights and wipers, cruise control, Bluetooth and rear tints. Buyers can additionally specify the Cup chassis (which is lower and stiffer), wheels with a blue inner rim, a sunroof or black paint instead of blue.
