Information About The Renault Twizy
One of Renault's most notable first steps into the world of electric-powered cars, the Twizy is a two-seater EV microcar - although, in certain parts of Europe, it's sometimes classified as a quadricycle. First introduced as a concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009, it went into production in Valladolid in Spain in the spring of 2012, before production was then moved to South Korea in 2019 to meet demand, where it remained until end of production in 2023.
Its power comes from a 6.1 kWh lithium-ion battery, and whilst it might not possess the fastest top speed of any vehicle in our fleet - 50mph seems to be the agreed number - its acceleration is impressive, going from 0-60mph in 7.3 seconds.
Cool Facts About The Renault Twizy
Perhaps because of its diminuitive proportions and size, the Renault Twizy found particular popularity in built-up urban areas and cities. It was also the vehicle Renault had on their 'Twizy Way' carsharing programme, first rolled out in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines in France in the summer of 2012, which proved so popular that it was opened to the general public in December of that same year.
At our Bovingdon Airfield venue in Hertfordshire, the Twizy is now one of three vehicles - together with the Lotus 2-Eleven and Toyota Aygo - which are used on the Ghost Lap Challenge experiences that are held here, giving you the opportunity to beat the professional instructors over 2 recorded circuit laps to see if you can emerge with the top driving score.
Terms and Conditions
All experiences are subject to availability. The most recent information on dates when an event may be available can be checked by looking at the calendars on the website, or when you have activated and logged in with your voucher. Please note not all spaces are shown online so if you cannot see spaces for your event please call or email for dates. We will do our best to secure your preferred choice of event, venue and date, but to avoid disappointment book as early as possible, especially for peak times such as weekends and the summer months which book up very quickly. Do not purchase an experience for yourself or as a gift that has a choice of venues if you or the person it is for are only able to travel to one of the choices. Once you are booked, you are bound by the terms and conditions of the event host of which a copy can be made available upon request. In most circumstances, a cancellation cannot be made once a date has been booked.
When booking by phone or online you should not make arrangements in connection with an Event until you have received your final booking confirmation stating your date and time (this does not include the automatic purchase email you receive that confirms what you have just ordered). Your final confirmation will usually arrive within 48 hours of making the purchase. For voucher redemption see 'voucher conditions' below. Where specific elements of an Event such as vehicles or equipment are not available due to mechanical breakdown, we reserve the right to make reasonable substitutions on the day. If this is not possible we reserve the right to cancel the experience at short notice.
Voucher holders must make a prior booking and receive confirmation in order that an open voucher can be redeemed. We recommend that when you have chosen your experience you redeem your voucher at least 21 days in advance of taking your selected experience. We do not guarantee availability on all events, even if the date is showing, so if a chosen event is full or you cannot find a suitable date during the validity period of your voucher then the credit can be used towards an alternative event. Do not arrive at a venue expecting to be able to use your voucher without making a prior booking and receiving a booking confirmation. Trackdays.co.uk will not be held liable for any costs incurred in such circumstances.
Unless stated otherwise, vouchers are valid for one person only. Where necessary a top-up payment can be made to increase the value of a voucher to book a higher priced event. Note that during the out of season months the price of experience may change. If the price of the event is lower than the value of the voucher the remaining credit will be held for use until the vouchers expiry date. We recommend booking as early as possible as you must have undertaken your experience before the expiry date printed on the front of your Voucher. All vouchers will be valid for use up to the expiry date displayed, but after this date, vouchers will automatically expire and cannot be reinstated under any circumstances. Trackdays.co.uk staff are not responsible for reminding or informing customers when a voucher is due to expire. A voucher holder may book a date which is outside of the expiration date displayed on the voucher but must extend the expiry of their voucher for an administration fee. This must be processed before the original expiry date. Voucher credit cannot be used for extension fees or to pay for booking protection.
