So cool he owns basically the very first one!

Fantastic! Love the nostalgia of how a car is born...especially the fact that Axel Breun first thought of making a wide-bodied Twingo using a Ferrari 308 chassis, engine, and drivetrain. which I never knew. :approve:

Great channel. A longer version of this film would be superb.

Thanks for sharing Duncan. :salut:

PS: There are a couple of interviews with Axel Breun (in 2 parts), which I have only just begun to watch: Car Design Podcast with AXEL BREUN | PART 1

When we went to Montlehery, he was there for both days and gave a talk about the inception of the Ph2 as well as the Twingo which he had brought along to give some outrageous demos :race: :approve: :approve: he also spent a lot of time walking around the paddock talking to people individually, a really great person and total petrolhead :bow:

Great guy. Got to know his wife (whose English ) and kids first before I found out I had parked in his Vees spot!! He was not happy! But we formed a great friendship along with his son. Top bloke and he let me sit in the Renault TwinRun at Goodwood one year!

I think this article summarises the YouTube clip quite well: The Mid-Engined Clio V6's Beginnings Were Way More Humble Than You'd Think
