Renault Twin’Run takes on Renault 5 Turbo & Clio V6 (video)

The new V6 powered Renault Twin’Run concept takes on its predecessors – the R 5 Turbo and Clio V6 – in a trailer clip for a longer film – Block Racer.

It’s only a couple of days since the Renault Twin’Run Concept sprang in to life, complete with V6 Turbo powering the back wheels and looking for all the world like a spiritual successor to mad Renault’s from times gone by – like the R5 Turbo and Clio V6.

And it seems that’s a point Renault want to make very clear as they appear to be about to launch a short ‘Adventure’ film starring the Twin’Run, R5 and Clio out playing, just so we all know what the Twin’Run’s heritage is.

But this is Renault – and they’re French, you know – so instead of recruiting a trio of boy racers to pilot the three hot hatches they’ve enlisted the skills of a trio of beautiful women. We’re not objecting.

The drivers of the Renault 5 Turbo and Clio V6 acknowledge the day would come when their cars would be challenged by a newcomer, but that they were ready for anything – apart from the Twin’Run with ‘our’ DNA.

The full length ‘Block Racer’ video is obviously on its way at some point and it does make us wonder if Renault really are going to build a version of the 2014 Twingo with a mid-mounted engine and V6 turbo to make a 21st century version of the R5 and Clio V6?

We do hope so.
