A while ago we published a post about four artistic renditions of the new Renault Twingo made with the input of four big names in their respective area of expertise. One of them was the Twingo 55 FBG, the outcome of the cooperation with fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, who tried to make a presidential vehicle out of the restyled French city car.

In the footage above, Mr. de Castelbajac himself explains the rationale behind the concept that led to the creation of the Twingo 55 FBG, also giving us the chance to take a better look at its lavish interior. Check it out.

Just a few weeks ahead of its debut on the market, Renault introduces four artistic interpretations of its re-styled Twingo, inspired by four well-known names in their respective area of expertise: meet ‘Twingo 55 FBG’, ‘Twingo Goes Pop’, ‘Scabin Pasta Twingo’ and ‘Twingo Wagon-Lire’.

The Twingo 55 FBG has been created with input from renowned fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, and is meant to represent a presidential car. This model uses a particularly serious matt black paintjob for both bodywork and wheels, which creates quite a contrast with its very shiny and luxurious interior, characterized by golden finishing and trim, superior fabrics all around and classy vintage furniture (a chair, a sofa and a table) instead of the usual two rows of seats. Also worth mentioning are the chandeliers that provide light to the cabin, the white stripe on the tyres’ shoulders and the mandatory presidential flags on both sides of the bonnet.

Twingo Goes Pop is the outcome of the cooperation with British recording artist Nicola Roberts, who conveyed on the car three of her passions: music, fashion and coffee. The rear seats have been replaced by a mobile recording studio inclusive of sound mixer that can only be accessed through the hatch, with fashion magazine covers papering the sides and a coffee machine right on the top of it. The dashboard instead has been transformed into a massive makeup case. Other remarkable features of the Twingo Goes Pop include blingy microphone, headset and hair dryer, the creator’s logo on the headrest and, well, a blue paint job.
