Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo (2012)

Not keen on the styling yet, but i think thats the case with most of the RS clio's that are released (197/200). One thing that is clear that its going to be rather awesome to drive. Huge difference in torque compared to the 200, same BHP and a bit lighter. And going by RS's recent releases it should handle rather well too.

Not sure about the paddle box though :(

How much did you pay to get 14BHP more from your 182? :D

Turbos are the future. Yes we all love the NA's in the old Clios, but things change. Car companies are making them by the million now so they will only get better. And then there is the tuning. Just think how much (or not) you would have to spend to get 14BHP from that 1.6? Its a bloke with a laptop job. I wouldn't be surprised if Renault themselves bung out a 220BHP version in the future, and we will see maps from people like K Tec going well beyond that. I think its the same engine thats in the Juke isn't it? What are they being mapped too now?

The styling I like, although it does look more like a Golf/Leon sized car than a Clio sized one.

The interior looks great.

I have full confidence in RenaultSport making the chassis epic.

But...

That gearbox :(. It makes me want the Megane.

After a quick Google it looks like Lichfield got the 188bhp Juke engine to 225bhp without really trying. 225bhp+ remaps should be readily available quite soon after launch from loads of places.
