Renault"s up for the Cup! Hot on the heels of the recent Clio Cup, the French firm has announced details of another stripped-out model.

This time, the Renaultsport Twingo 133 city car is getting the treatment.

Engineers have ditched the air-conditioning, sliding rear bench and the auto headlights and wipers to ensure the all-new 133 Cup is as light as possible.In addition, Ò£700 has been shaved off the price ò€“ so the new car costs Ò£11,795.

That buys you the Cup lowered suspension pack, tuned dampers and 17-inch alloy wheels with an Anthracite finish. The 133bhp 1.6-litre engine is unchanged, so 0-62mph still takes 8.7 seconds and it hits 125mph. Orders are being taken now.
