Putting a Range Rover engine on a Renault Twingo isnât meet an routine occurrence, yet bespoken tuners Lazareth decided to hit whatever recreation and do meet that.
While youâll never nonachievement the French auto automobile for a luxury SUV, it does make for whatever awing thrills to hit the small front-mounted engine the Twingo utilised to become in for a more coercive variety. As a result, the Twingo has been updated with a 3.5-liter V8 180 H.P. mid-mounted engine that conveys its power to the Twingoâs side wheels finished a five-speed drill transmission.
It took a lot of work, especially since a Twingo doesnât meet start in the same line as that of a Range Rover. To sound the luxury SUVs engine on the hatchback, Lazareth restricted the Twingoâs chassis by adding a side tubular subframe, sort newborn suspensions, restricted brakes, to study a few.
The result, as you can expect, is a hatchback that packs more power than Twingo could hit ever had with a standard configuration. If the upgraded engine wasnât enough, Lazareth also gave the Twingoâs interior a plush racing upgrade with MOMO containerful seats, a sports control wheel, and newborn digital gauges.
With a newborn engine and an coverall upgraded look, the Lazareth-tuned Twingo, which theyâve become to call as the Twingo Trophy V8, sells for around â¬70,000, or in the language of US dollars, around $105,000.
