Following its launch in the UK market, the Renault Twingo GT has been subjected to a new photo shoot in Paris, alongside some local street art.

Painted in vibrant orange with black stripes, which add up to the beefed up body kit and 17-inch alloy wheels, the sportiest member of the new Twingo family feels right at home in the French capital.

Using the same underpinnings as the Smart ForFour Brabus means that power comes from a small three-cylinder turbocharged engine, which is capable of pushing out 110 PS (108 HP) and 170 Nm (125 lb-ft) of torque. The unit is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, and sprinting from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes 9.6 seconds.

The Twingo GT comes with part-leather upholstery, special Renaultsport-badged door sills, satellite navigation system and automatic climate control as standard, and can also be specified with the brand’s R-Link infotainment system, electric panoramic folding sunroof and a variety of driver assist systems.
