This article introduces a new variant of hypercubes H-n. The n-dimensional twisted hypercube H-n is obtained from two copies of the (n - 1)-dimensional twisted hypercube Hn-1 by adding a perfect matching between the vertices of these two copies of Hn-1. We prove that the n-dimensional twisted hypercube H-n has diameter (1 + o(1)) n/log(2) n. This improves on the previous known variants of hypercube of dimension n and is optimal up to an error of order o(n/log(2) n). Another type of hypercube variant Z(n,k) that has similar structure and properties as H-n is also discussed in the last section.
