Renault Twingo Mauboussin – a sparkly choice indeed

Apparently, this one was designed to celebrate Valentine’s Day, though it was only launched earlier this week. It’s called the Twingo Mauboussin, and it’s a limited edition all dressed up to appeal to women buyers.

The hatch, reworked in cooperation with celebrated jeweller Mauboussin, gets a unique Tourmaline Brown metallic paint job, as well as half-leather, half chocolate-coloured cloth upholstery. The air vents and air-conditioning controls are also finished in Tourmaline Brown, as are the floor mats.

As expected, the Mauboussin logo is played up to the hilt, to be seen on the door panels, headrests and protective mats, and decals on the bonnet, tailgate and sides highlight the label further. All Twingo Mauboussin customers will also receive a silver Mauboussin pendant watch named “1960, je t’aime”.

Two engine variants are available for the limited series Twingo, in this case a dCi 85 eco2 or 75 hp 1.2 LEV 16V eco2 – besides France, the version will also be available in Italy, Austria and Morocco.

      It’s meant to be a cheap car, but it has 4 stars in EuroNCAP and 4 airbags. Viva can’t compete. This is a proper car, probably as safe as a Vios, if not safer (well, probably safer, Vios only 1-2 airbags and made of who knows what sort of steel for the ASEAN market).
