Renault Wind Turbo

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Wind

The Wind concept car was unveiled at the 2004 Paris Motor Show as a 2+1 roadster.

In production from 2010 to Feb 2012.

Based on the Twingo.

The Wind features a one piece metal roof, that rotates 180° backwards and folds away.

Model trim lines: Dynamique, Dynamique S, and the limited edition "Collection".

Dynamique was the most basic, with 16" alloy wheels and air conditioning as standard features.

Dynamique S, 17" alloy wheels and climate control.

GT, available only in the UK.

Limited Edition "Collection" had the biggest range of features, including a gloss black retractable roof and red and chrome dashboard inserts.

Horsepower and acceleration specs:

1.2 TCE 10.2 secs 118 mph 98 bhp
1.6 VVT . 8.9 secs 125 mph 131 bhp

They did a GT line and a Gordini and neither were any more powerful or quicker than the standard range.

The 1.2 turbo version was less powerful and less quick than the 1.6 n/a. :( Probably room to alter that outcome though :agree:

Looks like some tuning has been happening across Euro. Google just found a video with a dump valve what appeared to be a bigger exhaust on an Italian one.

They might be the same engines at the Twingo. There was some work done there in the UK. Apart from Andrew Cooke's 2 litre conversion.
