As our picture shows...

As our picture shows, the device uses a special kind of solid polyurethane foam moulded to fit snugly around the engine. The idea is that it prevents heat escaping overnight, so when you start the vehicle in the morning the unit is still warm, easing the ignition process and boosting fuel consumption by up to eight per cent.

A minor facelift means a new grille for the soft-roader, plus revised lights, 16-inch alloys, a hard spare wheel cover and wider arch projectors. The diesel variant, which covers 0-60mph in 10.6 seconds and returns 39.8mpg, gets a tailgate spoiler. Cabin revisions include better materials and instrumentation. Petrol models go on sale in November from í‚á£17,600, a slight increase over the existing car.

It"s official! Renault...

It"s official! Renault has confirmed that the Twingo CC will make its public debut later this year, before going on sale in 2010.

We bought you spy shots of the car ò€“ described as a spiritual successor to the Ford Puma ò€“ here. And more details were revealed to one of Auto Expressò€™s sister titles at a recent event in Germany.

Entry variants are slated to be fitted with the 100bhp 1.2-litre TCE unit used in the Twingo GT. Also, a flagship car would incorporate the Twingo RSò€™s 131bhp 1.6. But there is still some uncertainty over the exact engine range, due to Renaultò€™s intention to cut the emissions of its entire vehicle line-up.

Further options being discussed include a 900cc three-cylinder petrol and an upmarket 140bhp 1.6-litre diesel.

Itò€™s most likely that the first versions of the car will be built at Renaultsportò€™s factory in Dieppe, and that the planned small production runs will make the car an instant classic.
