History
The D Engine was designed because the 1.2-liter Energy Engine with its hemispherical cylinder head and exhaust up to the front of the head could not fit under the hood of the First generation Twingo.
In 1997, New pollution regulations went into effect. Renault could have kept the Cléon-Fonte 1.2 on the Twingo and its Energy engine 1.2 on the Clio, applying changes to its engines, such equipping multipoint injection, but rather than investing in two different engines and because of the unexpected success of Twingo, they decided to opt for a new engine that could both be mounted on the Twingo as the Clio, hence the creation of the D-Type Engine.
The D-Type engine has a hemispherical cylinder head incorporating the camshaft, with the exhaust placed at the back of the head in order to get under the hood of the First generation Twingo.

D4FT
In an effort to produce a cost-effective fuel efficient engine Renault introduced a
Renault created the break by suggesting
These unique qualities are obtained thanks to the combination of a 1.2L capacity engine with a low inertia low boost pressure turbocharger whose response time is reduced to the minimum, through the use of a turbine and a small diameter compressor. It produces 91 to 107 PS (67 to 79 kW; 90 to 106 hp) and 78 kW (106 PS; 105 hp).
The turbocharger includes an "overpower" feature which temporarily boosts power output in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears at engine speeds of more than 4,500 rpm (5 hp (4 kW) extra power and 6 N⋅m (4 lbf⋅ft) extra torque).
It is fitted to the following vehicles:
- 2007–2014 Renault Twingo
- 2007–present Renault Clio
- 2007–2012 Renault Modus
- 2010–2013 Renault Wind
