RENAULT will unveil a hot version of its small city car the Twingo at the Goodwood Festival of Speed from June 23-26.

The Twingo GT will boast 110bhp from its tuned engine, a revised manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive.

A sporty new look, stiffened suspension and variable-rate steering means the car will feature sharp handling, responsive steering feedback and excellent road-holding, a performance-orientated package unprecedented in the small city car sector.

The Twingo GT will not be available in the UK until this winter, meaning the car's global unveil on June 23 will be the first time it has been seen in the metal.

Renault will also give the new Megane Sport Tourer GT205 its first UK airing at the Moving Motor Show at Goodwood the same day.
