The first generation Twingo (two door, front engine) debuted at the Paris Motor Show on 5 October 1992, receiving its formal market launch in continental European markets beginning in April 1993. Renault launched the second-generation Twingo (two door, front engine) in the summer of 2007 – and the third generation (four door, rear engine) debuted at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, receiving its formal market launch in September 2014. The name Twingo is a portmanteau of the words twist, swing and tango. Renault Twingo Renault Twingo Dynamique (III) – Frontansicht, 24. Oktober 2015, Münster.jpg Overview Manufacturer Renault Production 1992–present Body and chassis Class City car Body style 3-door hatchback (Twingo I and II) 5-door hatchback (Twingo III) Layout Front-engine, front-wheel-drive (Twingo I and II) Rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive (Twingo III） Chronology Predecessor Renault 4 Renault 5 (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) We have here a 1:18 scale die-cast metal with plastic parts of a very popular French designed and made small runabout. I guess when you see it, the first thing you notice is the colour. I would say that its that colour that would be noticed at first glance. And yes, they actually were painted that colour in the actual vehicle. Its that bug-eyed headlights that in fact has that Nissan look on their small run-about at least from the front. So which came first the French or the Japanese? Still, this is an excellent model that shows that the French with their quirky designs at least make it a very interesting model. On this model, all doors and bonnet open reasonably but would have been better if they could open wider especially the bonnet. It was very hard to get a very good view of the engine that had a surprising amount of detail. But the engine was very hard to get good images, so I hope that you forgive the quality of the details. Inside the model, the interior detail was quite good, and with the roof top cover, made getting images of the interior details quite interesting. The details such as the seats and dashboard giving good detail. As well as the steering column being of a scale that showed detail of controls without being as I call it chunky, but more realistic that some models. So as a Model, it comes across as the original vehicle. Quirky looking especially from the front, but the colour? I guess everyones taste can be different. But collectable/ yes as if you consider the thousands of brands and models made, this is one that the museum likes as it shows the many different looks that one gets from the makers of our modern vehicles. But for detail and quality, 4.5/5.0. Robin Finlay. 13/09/2022. Visit robinsmodelcarsinternetmuseum.net for more! Project Manager

< Back American-Designed & -Built Post-1950 Collection 2010 Ford Mustang GTO 18 - AV122 - 20 - 03 2010 Ford Mustang GTO Model Description Model Details Name of Model: 2010 Ford Mustang GTO Scale: Manufacturer: Collection: American Designed & Built Post 1950 Collection Museum Number: 18 - AV122 - 20 - 03 Date Added to YouTube: Description Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 This is a 1:18 scale model in die-cast metal with plastic parts. This model shows off in that there is no doubt that this is a Shelby car. With the Shelby name everywhere, this is a well made and crafted model. It's solid and with a minimum of small plastic parts that one would normally see on these models, but even so you still need to handle carefully. The Body The paintwork is excellent. I like the metallic colour, and this is the same colour you would get on the real car, and care has been taken to ensure paint quality. There are no problems such as cracking or any bubbles with no chipping. This is a 2-door vehicle, and this model has both doors, bonnet and boot/trunk opens. The doors open reasonably well which gives a good look into the interior. Both doors are fitted well with excellent clearance and no over gaps. The external mirrors have been attached solidly, but still needs to be handled carefully. The main reason that models like these external parts is that they can break easily, and you cannot in most cases get replacement parts. The bonnet is a perfect fit. This is a premium model in which great care has been taken in the assembling of this model. The front of the model shows a distinctive radiator grill, but also it leaves no doubt that this is a Shelby Mustang. On the bottom air scoop and that famous cobra, this model shows us a powerful car. All the lights both front and rear have been fitted nicely. Those wheel rims with those tires are especially done in black and you can see the discs and also the brake callipers. All those decals have been done well to scale and fitted with care. And that includes the twin white stripes right from the front to the rear. The boot/trunk is fitted well and also opens reasonably. Nothing really to find fault with this model. The Interior In a lot of models, the interior detail can be something to desire. But this model has a very good interior in that just about all those features that are on the original car can be seen. Black works well with the blue. The seats show good detail with the addition of the seat belts a nice touch. The rear seat shows the same quality as in the front seats with its detail. The consol between the front seats shows good detail that continues to the dashboard. The detail showing all those screens and radio are extremely well done. The air vents in that greyish colour add more realism to that dashboard. I am surprised that considering the tiny size, you can read the instruments. That steering wheel will turn the front wheels, but it can be a little difficult. I wouldn't do it as I think it is fragile. That steering wheel is typical Ford but has that added Shelby features like the cobra that makes it definitely unmistakable. The Engine This engine I find fault with. To me its the same look that you would get in a 1:24 or a 1:32 scale model. This is a premium car that would cost a lot and would be regarded as something special. That Shelby Cobra name should show not in the excellent body and interior, but also in that engine.While the motor detail is good, that is spoilt by the outer parts of the engine like the radiator, air intake battery, and those other parts that would give it more of that real engine a better and more realistic look. That special engine needs that attention to detail. As it stands, it's more like an ordinary Mustang engine that does not show that real Shelby Cobra GT500 engine. The Boot/Trunk & Undercarriage That finish is as well done as the other opening parts. The boot/trunk opens reasonably and has a good gap when closed. There is no indication on what the spare looks like, but simply on the model is an empty space. That air spoiler on the boot/trunk lid has the carbon fibre look and feel. The undercarriage is quite basic in that it shows the underneath of the motor as well as the gearbox. The most impressive part is the exhaust system that starts up on the side of the engine and right to the tail pipe outlets. Done in a more light chrome it gives it that more realistic look. There is only a basic look at the other parts like the rear differential and the suspension. The Conclusion This is a good model. It has its faults that are mainly in the presentation of the engine.Just looking at this model it gives a very good impression. Comparing the model with the real Shelby, shows that it copies it in the most important areas and its quite realistic. I like it. Ours is that metallic blue with black interior, which gives this model class and shows again that Shelby Cobra that this is a performance car. I give it a 4.75 / 5.00. Robin Finlay 14/03/2023.
