Guess it's the new Twingo

I haven't been on the Auto Express site in quite a while.

They're still up to their old tricks though.

They have this picture...
...under the headline, "New Renaultsport Twingo" but then go on to say, "it is how it could look."  So, it's just a guess really - maybe an educated guess - but still a guess.
 
Others are at it too, French site ABCMoteur have this for the standard Twingo... 
 While our own Autocar have this today...
Autocar's story is headlined, "Renault Twingo 'reinvents small car'" because it is a small car with a rear engine and rear drive.  Only thing is, it has been done before...
 
...in Scotland: 
and, even more successfully, in Italy: 
 
The new Twingo, judging by these guesses (and Renault's own concepts), will be available as a five-door so that is a bit of a departure from the past and at least this does look a bit more funky like the original Twingo:
Although, maybe I thought it was quite funky then because it was never sold in Britain so it meant I was always on holiday when I saw one. 
 
The Mark II version, which is sold in Britain, is quite bland in comparison:
Guess they thought it was time for a re-think.
