Elia unveiled a sport package for the second generation Renault Twingo which bear’s the name GT-R. The bodykit includes 17-inch rims, dual exhaust pipes, spoilers etc, and it will cost €3,000 or $ 4,171 in Germany. Moreover, Elia told us that towards the end of the year it would introduce a flexfuel conversion for the Twingo GT that will run on E85 bioethanol fuel, conventional gasoline or any mixture of the two. According to Elia, using bioethanol will not only make the Twingo GT’s 101 Hp turbocharged 1.2-liter engine more eco-friendly but it will also increase output by about 15 percent (116 Hp). -More images after the jump

Elia To Present Twingo GT-R In Frankfurt

German tuner Elia will take the wraps off its Twingo GT-R model based on the new Renault Twingo GT at the Frankfurt Show in September. Apart from the aggressive bodykit previewed in these sketches that Elia released (blue car) and the suspension / brake upgrades, the Twingo GT-R is expected to feature a tweaked version of the stock 1.2-litre turbocharged engine. In the Twingo GT, the 1.2T unit delivers 101 Hp so 130-140 Hp shouldn’t be a problem for Elia. Along with the GT-R Elia will also present a new bodykit (yellow car) and new alloy rim designs for all versions of the Twingo II. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below
