Nurburgring Nordschleife Twingo RS 28-08-2011 Lap1

A lap in the RS testing the new upgrades (tires and brake pads) on the Nordschleife. Not a very good day as track temperature stayed very low so the tires didn't get much heat and could work better.

I used to have a Twingo RS Cup (white / black alloys) but myself and the wife decided to 'upgrade' to the Megane RS 250 (full fat - has everything). Mistake. The Twingo was 500x the fun :(

[@Quintinohthree]

I'm very glad I've just bought a Twingo RS. Only testdriven it around an industrial estate in two directions, but damn, it's probably the most fun I could have for the money.

[@lateralg3169]

WellDone! you beat my time in an ST Fiesta! Your Twingo sounds like a Stuka going down Foxhole.😊

[@Sexyoldgeraldorivera]

I've got a reason to get a car licence now, these look great! a proper hot hatch. nice driving as well.

[@lupo0144]

Awesome video mate! Nice to see a small car doing so well around the Ring! I personally love the Twingo RS! I had a 5GTT in the early 90s and that was a flying machine! Like some of the comments on here... there's so much you can do with modern small hot hatches... Would have been good if Renault had gone for say a 1.4 turbo in the RS..

[@PaulHojda]

love the van at the beginning XD hahaha

[@yotah1TheModernRacer]

The Miata was running on T1R tires, new suspensions with lowered and stiffer ride, rollcage and uprated brake pads, so similar to my mods. And the driver has a very nice driving touch so as i wasn't pushing mine too much just to test the new parts, we were pretty equals in terms of raw perf. Regarding the Clio, it has the engine that the Twingo needs. That says it all. Clio RS3.2 is the GT3RS of its category

[@dirk307]

Wow man.... Great drive with (only)150 hp...good technique, the toyo r888 also help, but still...Great video

[@yotah1TheModernRacer]

133hp at that time :P. The Twingo has a great chassis so it makes it really quick in corners, not so much on the straights lol, but I remedied that by putting a Clio RS engine in it a few years ago.

[@lupo0144]

I like the modern turbo's....My old GTT was a pain in the backside when it was playing up...But when it was running good it was awesome! I hope Ford do something good with the new Eco-Boost 1.0 and I hope VW do something good with the new UP!

[@Shaftlaft]

your car is f*cking awesome, I was there that day and saw you do a couple of laps, my god....awesomesauce...;)..

[@Tamoil753]

I remember I've immediately noticed your car in the parking that day, particularly the all loss-of-weight work, and I just wondered how it would go on track. Today I found this video, and I see you achieved just a couple of second more than my lap with a rented clio rs, the same day. Shame on me, LoL ;) (I didn't kwon about the biker, even if when we saw the ambulance returning with no sirens on ... )

[@bibabouille]

Je vends une de mes motos et je m’achète une twingo rs...merci pour cette belle attaque derrière la Mazda😇

[@yotah1TheModernRacer]

Thanks :) I covered a total of 21 laps during the day, taking some friends as passengers for their first time here. Sadly the day ended with the death of a biker just before the track closure :(

[@yotah1TheModernRacer]

pretty much Clio engine in Twingo, Megane engine in Clio, and 300hp in Megane would be a decent HP distribution throughout the range :)

[@toadinthehole8085]

WTF it took you till four gear reving the nutts off it to pass the van !!! Lol

[@Jadzwing]

Great driving and twingo isn't so slow!

[@Pogost1ck]

Beginning is just what I thought: That's a quick van! Apparently you thought thesame. That mx-5 also has some great grip! Oh and overtaking is on the LEFT. Did you apologize to the mx-5 driver?

[@sandromartins20]

+Pogost1ck Renault Kangoo power, lol!

[@derbigpr500]

That's a diesel Kangoo, quick things when not loaded up. :P

[@GiUs97MiTo]

Excuse me, I have a Twingo RS too and I was wondering what kind of phone holder you were using.

[@yotah1TheModernRacer]

I've had it for years, i think i bought it at an electronics store. it had 3 mounts: 1 to fit on an air vent, 1 suction cup for the windscreen, and 1 which you glue to your dashboard. It was 20 bucks or so, surely you can find something like this anywhere today on Amazon or other shops :)

[@GiUs97MiTo]

yotah1 thank you. I was asking this because I bought one for air vent but it doesn't work with Twingo ones.

[@clio2rsminicup]

We can say that for all the Renault Sport cars : Twingo RS & Clio RS & Megane RS could definitely do with more power! ^^

[@yotah1TheModernRacer]

I'm not a big fan of turbos, recent ones at least, I prefer the roar of a NA engine :D But the Twingo could definitely do with more power!

[@CalamarTv]

c'est quoi ce kangoo au debut de la video????

[@yotah1TheModernRacer]

Je sais pas mais comme il était déjà lancé quand j´ai démarré j´en ai chié pour le doubler :D Bon, au premier virage je ne l´ai plus vu forcément...

[@yotah1TheModernRacer]

comme toute voiture : les sièges.

[@clio2rsminicup]

sure but that exist ^^ Take my own Clio 2 RS1, it is lighter than a current Twingo RS with the 2.0l 16v and more power (960-980kg my own Clio 2 RS1 ^^) And about the Megane 3RS 265hp, it is easy by a "simple" reprog to have 300hp

[@snailonwheels9562]

Could you please advise where and how did you mount the camera in this car to film this? It looks good and I woul like to use it the same way you did.

[@yotah1TheModernRacer]

It was fixed with a bracket to the back of the passenger bucket seat.

[@snailonwheels9562]

yotah1 thanks for your quick reply. :) I have a standard seat so it probalby will not be as stable as bucket seat. But I will try it anyway as I have no other option to shoot video from this angle.

[@toadinthehole8085]

Gearing is a little short and am not sure that engine pumps out 131 let alone 139 . It just hasn't got the pulling power !

[@yotah1TheModernRacer]

I'm sure you're some kind of superhero if you can guess the horsepower output of a car by watching a KZbin video. Man I wish i had such a gift, you're lucky! By the way gearing was completely stock.

[@desmo69330]

les parties ou l'on gagne le plus de poids sur un TRS se sont les quelles s'il te plait??

[@jmrs6383]

Sans aucun doute les sièges arrière qui possèdent en plus de grande glissières bien lourde vu qu ils sont coulissant et indépendant .

[@totomikavalent]

Les sièges arrière il y en a pour 35 kg je crois non ? Tu as fais une gestion pour etre à 139hp et surtout 17.3 mkg ? Ou tu as une ligne en plus ? . Surper le tour en tout cas.

[@yotah1TheModernRacer]

ligne puis par la suite j'avais mis un décata inox sur mesure par Inoxline Performance. La reprog était faite apr BR Perf, mais rien de bien magique par ici ... Depuis j'ai mis un 2.0 de Clio 3 RS

[@totomikavalent]

Oui je l'ai su pour le 2.0 lol. .donc gestion et ligne sans decata = 139hp c'est pas mal surtout le couple 17.3., donc tu me déconseille br performance alors ?

[@yotah1TheModernRacer]

les "maps" des "préparateurs" sont toutes les mêmes, ensuite chacun fait dire ce qu'il veut à son banc de mesure... La gestion pour mon swap a pris 7 mois à faire comme il faut et 3 jours de banc non stop pour finaliser, et ce avec un mec dont c'est le métier depuis 20 ans... donc les maps sorties en 30' avec un passage au banc, ça vaut ce que ça vaut :(

[@totomikavalent]

Ouai c'est ce que j'avais pu comprendre. Que ca sortait toute du même endroit et que chacun les rebalance dans le calculateur. Surtout si ca marche à peine mieux

[@totomikavalent]

Et j'avais deja entendu parler de cette histoire de puissance sur banc qu'ils disent ce qu'ils veulent. .un bruit tres tres sourd à froid au niveau de l'admission avec très peu de puissance sur la TRS ca peut être l'electrovane de dephasage ? La disrib à. 10 mois

[@cooperwahoo1]

LE KANGOO!! :o

[@MsNosaj]

fin il à surtout l'air d'avoir remap son gros tracteur. parceque même lancé ça prend pas autant de temps
