The story of the original Renault Twingo

Launched in March 1993 , the Renault Twingo revolutionized the city car segment with its bold design by Patrick le Quément. This little French car broke all the aesthetic codes of the time with its expressive round headlights, curved rear window and atypical proportions that gave it a unique personality on European roads.

The 1.2L 16-valve engine develops 75 horsepower, providing sufficient performance for urban driving while maintaining reasonable fuel consumption. The Twingo's remarkable spaciousness, despite its compact dimensions, is a testament to the genius of the Billancourt engineers who optimized every square centimeter of the cabin.

With more than 2.5 million units sold during its career, the first generation of Twingo established itself as one of Renault's greatest commercial successes, particularly appealing to urban customers looking for originality and practicality.

Renault in the 90s - A brand in full renaissance

In the early 1990s, Renault underwent a period of creative renewal under the leadership of its new design director, Patrick le Quément. The diamond-shaped brand gradually abandoned the angular lines of the 1980s to adopt a more organic and emotional design language, with the Twingo becoming the exponent.

This period also coincided with Renault's international expansion, developing strategic partnerships and modernizing its production lines. The creation of the Twingo at the Flins-sur-Seine plant perfectly illustrates this capacity for industrial innovation, with manufacturing methods that were revolutionary for the time.

Renault's boldness is also evident in its marketing strategy, targeting a young, female audience with offbeat advertising campaigns that make the Twingo a true social phenomenon , well beyond the simple automotive world.
