Renault Twingo Art Collection

In case you got sick of your Twingo, here's a new one. No, we're not talking about a revised model but a special version of the car as Renault seems to become more interested in launching limited series of its cars rather than on producing new models. Anyway, the so-called Twingo Art Collection is a limited edition of 800 cars that will go on sale on June 15 and that sports several exclusive and unique features.

First of all, its styling. The guys over at Renault claim this is the first time in Europe when a car employes inkjet technology for printing the upholster of a production car. More specifically, the French manufacturer has collaborated with four designers to customize the appearance of the car. The selected design, called "Faces" and produced by Swedish stylist Christina Drejenstam features female faces printed on a velour fabric.

"For me, this illustration is a sensuous expression of the modern woman. The simplicity of its lines serves to highlight evocative details," Christina Drejenstam commented on the design.

Secondly, the car is painted in an unique Pearlescent Black color and will be only sold in France, Renault said in a release.

In case you're living in France, you could see the car between May 28 and June 11 L'Atelier Renault showroom on the Champs-Elysées in Paris. In case you're not, you can still have a look through the ELLE.fr website from June 15.

And to give you a few details about it, the car is based on the Dynamique equipment level of the Twingo and comes with a price tag starting at 12,050 euros. In addition to the velour upholstery we already told you about, the Twingo Art Collection also comes equipped with sliding rear seats, audio system with MP3 player, electric panoramic opening sunroof and iPod connectivity.
