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.
it's more than a Tesla battery, which is about 650-800kg. A Model 3 starts at 1.7 Tons, which is double the Twingo, but there's hybrids that weigh one Twingo more than that!
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 :)
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
@@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.
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 :)
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 reliable 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.
İt's not like having 235 hp premium sedans because they don't weight 2700 kgs they weight 1600-1800 kgs and they have more torque than this 1.2 16v clio
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...
the best part, around 6.12, it was cruising around 178km/h, and a similarly old van was overtaking it ... I was driving with 195km/h on tempomat, and a Fiat Abrath was flashing me behind to let it go... ( i was on the inner lane, because i was also overtaking)
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.
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.
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.
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 😂
I own Clio 2 (2003) 1.6 16V Initiale Paris. Reliable friend and very cozy 😎. I bought it once spontaneously and without thinking, and I really loved it. It's a shame to sell it, and I don't plan to. 🙃
My old Twingo with just the 58 HP went also 197 km/h no one belived me that time. After my also old Renault Clio TechRun with 980 kg, and 98 HP top speed was 215 km/h.

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 😅
I love how peaceful one can be while driving at almost 200kph in a rolling coffin on a wet road.
That car, those tires, that suspension, that rain ... ? Alright you're insane it's official 😂
We are in Germany. Thats normal here😂
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.

Why?
I once saw a video with a professional driver on the Nürburgring with a 60 hp Twingo. These little cars are awesome in the right hands.
First I thought it was a merc, then a jag, but no, it was the repairing van overtaking you when you where doing 180.6:03
I’m Planning to import one of these from the NL to the UK.

Mein 1.2 58 PS hat nur 160 Tacho geschafft. Bei so einem leichten Auto machen sich die 17 PS mehr echt bemerkbar.
I used to own this twingo !
But I never thought it could be si fast !
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.
The engine would make its reliable top speed in 4th but when you get lucky it can get a bit more out of 5th.
Doesn’t matter mate .. it feels like 220 anyway
downhill and probably wind from behind too, i have twingo2 same engine and top speed was 165 in plane road
