Designed to deliver a more focused driving experience with less equipment and a lower price, the Cup lacks typical convenience items such as air conditioning, automatic headlights, tinted windows and independent sliding rear seats (they are replaced by a one-piece bench).

While it isn't luxurious, the car boasts a sports suspension with revised damper settings and higher spring rates (10% stiffer front and rear). Other touches include a reduced ride height (it sits 4mm lower than the standard Renaultsport) and anthracite 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels fitted with Continental Sport Contact3 195/40 tyres.

In terms of styling, Renault offers a "black and white package" with Glacier White bodywork and gloss black accents on the door mirrors, rear spoiler and front bumper.

Power comes from the Twingo RS' 1.6-liter four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 133bhp and 160Nm of torque. While performance data wasn't released, the Cup will likely run from 0-100 km/h in 8.7 seconds, before topping out at 201km/h.

The Twingo RS 133 Cup will start arriving at UK dealerships this November.
