Twingo Pictures
Twingo
modified by Greenpeace :
This is the "Twingo SmILE" (for Small - Intelligent - Light - Efficient).
Greenpeace has modified this Twingo in order to prove that cars manufacturers
are able to product a "low consumption car" without major technical problem.
This "Twingo SmILE" was presented on august 13, 1996 in Luzern (Switzerland).
After some little modifications, its fuel consumption falls at 3,3 liters
/ 100 km, half as a normal Twingo !
Can we consider that the "Twingo SmILE" is still a Twingo ? In fact, Greenpeace
replaced its engine (358 cm3, with maximal power of 55 bhp at 5.500 rpm),
made its aerodynamic better (30 %), and reduced its weight of 195 kg (20
%). But we can say that the Twingo-spirit is intact, isn't it ?
