Found this on my 'trawling' on 'the Net'

http://www.autoevolution.com/news/elia-renault-twingo-gt-with-111-ps-has-a-185-km-h-top-speed-102578.html

Looks nice with the bits...and a bit lower...
But the tops speed is no faster than the Twingo GT at 185km/h..(just 114mph).
The Brab spec says 180km/h...or 112mph...

HOWEVER...
the 4th paragraph (below the picture) is the most damming
in respect of the 453 and it's derivatives.

Was wondering, as the 'sports' suspension né Brabus suspension
set-up still leaves a lot to be desired in the lowerin stakes
(as in there's still too much gap between the body n tyre), do
you know or are you aware if anyone intends to bring out a
coilover set-up for the 453 ForFour (like a new B14 type)...
to really drop the ride height and make it look and handle even
better maybe ?

We have H&R springs on both & have been waiting for a B14 test kit for 18mths now...
