Had that over 20years ago. I Worked in a small garage/dealership as the service receptionist. The owner had a MK1 Skoda Favorit that had been very heavily modified for tarmac rallying. It had the engine, gearbox, differentials from a 2.0lt Ford Sierra Cosworth. The suspension and brakes were very heavily upgraded. And the car is lowered and had wider sticky tyres. So it had been on a rally and the boss had clipped a fence post and damaged a rear door. The car was all white. So we were taking it to a paint shop to get resprayed. We were driving on the Motorway at about 70mph, when a BMW 530 Came up fast behind us. My boss smiled and said watch this. He gunned the Skoda and drew level and passed the BMW. Who in turn accelerated, we did more, this went to over 100mph, then on to 120mph. The BMW decided this was beyond him and backed off. At this point our junction was approaching very quickly. Boss braked hard and slowed to 80 before take a tight left turn that few roading cars could manage. So this driver realised that his BMW was NOT the ultimate driving machine. A little white Skoda was. R.I.P. IAN WILSON
I am suprised that 75 HP Twingo is so fast . My uncle loves them. Now he has second twingo, first one was with AC , 1.2 60 HP, now with panoramic glass sunroof 75 HP 2004 and leather beige seats (the car is black)
I've a renault clio with the same engine(1.2 16v 75hp) and the max speed was 180 km/h down hill. If is a flat terrain then can only reach 170. If you realize in the video, the car can reach 190 only downing hill.
The only type of car that can fit in French and Belgian roads. French traffic, especially around Paris until at least 2005 was just absolutely crazy congested with nowhere to park or even move properly, they really needed small cars like this back then. It was a complete nightmare.
I does really good in Brazil too. In cities like São Paulo, or Rio and other big cities this car can take big traffic easilly, due to it's size, and in Brazil we have some tight roads too, making it easier too
I drove this little car with a friend of mine across the Paris periferique, let's say it was... challenging, but I learned soon enough how it all worked :)
@@walterweber5293 It's a huge stretch from city speeds (50kmh) to highway speeds, especially unrestricted areas. There's country roads in between (100khm, 60mph). City and country will be a huge part of driving. Unrestricted Autobahn sectors are really a minority.
Top speed on econobox is usually influenced on a lot by wind, road incline, drafting and such. The engine would make its reliable top speed in 4th but when you get lucky it can get a bit more out of 5th.
75 hp for 900 kg, it's like having 225 hp for a premium sedan... This said, Twingo with a 1.2 L engine is a very relaible machine, but it is not meant to be driven that. First the brakes are not too powerful, second this engine will not last for long at this high revolution. this said, I am a satisfied Renault owner? My first grand scenic 2009, 1.9L diesel that I gave to my son has now some 320 000 km. It's still running great. The main maintenance operations were on front supension and "triangle", but for the rest, it was only "classical" maintenance.
Finde ich eigentlich sehr beeindruckend, dass so eine alte und kleine Karre so eine stabile Beschleunigung hat. Ich hätte gemeint, der Motor kommt bei 140 km/h schon ins Schwitzen, und bei 150 km/h ins Husten. Das beweist die Qualität von damals. Aber 75 PS sind für das Gewicht auch nicht wenig :)
Wir sind Anfang der 80er mit einem vw polo gt ,mit auch 75 ps ,in ähnlicher Geschwindigkeit über die Autobahn immer zum Bund gefahren! Wahnsinn, was solch kleine Autos bringen...
This is a epic car, my coworked had it 15 years back, we drove 2 years together, and he had a semi automatic, some strange gearbox, no clutch but still you needed to shift the lever hehe, it was a money saver and at winter he just poured hot water on front window in a freezing morning and we drove off.... low maintenance too
Yup, most cars from FIAT are just crazy reliable. They are just too much of a hit-or-miss thing, unfortunately. My mom had several FIAT cars and some of them were basically indestructible and others spent more time at the shop than moving.
I drive a 2017 Renault doker and I thought its limit was 160km/h and loaded. Now seeing this Twingo go faster. I think I can exceed 160 without a load with the doker.
No egr no dpf no problem. Old cars running on less cost on long term, almost same fuel efficiency as the newer ones. Only the rust can be a problem because parts and service are financially pennys compared to new ones.
Étant donné que sur le papier la Vmax c'est 168km/h pour une twingo c'est quand même impressionnant de monter a quasi 200 par contre j'ai passer mon temps a regarder la jauge d'essence qui descend hyper rapidement 😂

Gdybym mógł wyznać miłość jakiemuś autu, to byłoby to właśnie Twingo. Sam posiadam już takie Renault w wersji Initiale Paris. Ten mały bazyliszek cieszy mnie na sam już jego widok.😊
Anfang der 2000 habe ich Mal jemanden kennen gelernt, die haben ne 90ps Motor in die Karre gebaut und sich sogar die Mühe gemacht und das Display vom Tacho ersetzen, da es bei 199 stehen bleibt. Glaube die lief dann aber nur 205
Having driven this exact car I can say that at these speeds it's practically a projectile. Don't try an evasive maneuver or something or you'll end up in the ditch probably.
Just imagine you’re going almost 200km/h and you see a mkI Twingo pull up behind you
201km/h with my twingo
I have a 365hp Leon cupra 5f and a 255hp NA civic type r. But i LOVE my wife's Twingo. That 75hp is perfect for in town :) Greetz from Holland!

This old 75 hp Twingo is running faster than modern electric vehicles with 300 hp. 😂
Nicht schneller, aber weiter😊
They weigh like under 900kg with a lively 1.2L engine 😂.
Electric vehicles have the top speed blocked, you ignorant kid.
And still is more expensive than a Electric SUV on 100km
Does seem quick acceleration 😅
0:48 Proceeds to open door on a Twingo for exhaust sound xD
Those engines are bulletproof. I've had one Clio with 1.2 60hp and another one with 1.4 100hp and both of them were super reliable.
I had 2 Clio mk1 too and they were really that fast. Loved them ❤
The 1.4 16v is amazing. I had one in 2001. Fast and reliable.
My Twingo died near by 200k. Cylinder damage. It was 1.2 12v and have some other problems with sterling. Not great car

I’m Planning to import one of these from the NL to the UK.
Renault really missed the mark by not selling this generation in the country 😢
Well they didn’t manage to design the RHD (for the right price)
The official numbers for this car's top speed is 168 km/h. With this shape, aerodynamics and hp, there is an at least 20 km/h speedometer inaccuracy.
Top speed on econobox is usually influenced on a lot by wind, road incline, drafting and such.

Almost 200kph with a four banger 1.2... that's pretty good back in times !
Nah around 180kph as speedo is never accurate
@@Cayres9 do you rlly think the speedo can miss by 20 kph?
@@abdulcedeleche16 Yes 👍🤠 as if you use GPS Speedos are usually out by at least 12 kph or more

I've driven small cars at like ~160kmh or so and it was terrifying, can't imagine what doing 200 in a Twingo would feel like
190 in a Mazda 2 1.3
Let me tell ya...
I can't tell you at 200, but at 160/170km/h the Twingo 16v is handling surprisingly well
The Twingo is an small car, but It has the wheels in the corners, It has a very good distance between front and rear axles.
The one video to rule them all
Why?
Pulling is so nice for a 1.2 75 hp.
Especially because its a 22 year old car
Our Mercedes has the same 75 horsepower
E200 Diesel 1994🤘🏿🤠🤘🏿
75HP on a car that weighs 830kg is very different than on a car that weighs like 1400kg, like my Leon

I used to own this twingo !
But I never thought it could be si fast !
I love how peaceful one can be while driving at almost 200kph in a rolling coffin on a wet road.
when i had one 1.2 75v i did a race against the 1.2 60cv, and weirdly the 60 cv WON !
I have one of these, it's my first car and I want it to stay with me forever. I love it.
