Will have a 133bhp 1.6L engine and should weigh approx 1000kg, can imagine it will be very fun to drive!

Not many specs released about it though apart from engine power and size!

fun, but very gay.

looks like a new Saxo VTR, expect every chav with a job to get one on credit next year

I like it, should do well... good market for the gay guy, girl / mum wagon.

I would imagine that could be a lot of fun.

i like that

only 1000kg you say?

133 bhp/ton few tweaks and a bit of weight saving and thats seriously silly grin time

Wouldnt the 1.2 Turbo Twingo with a bit of tuning be better? As it's 980kg and 100hp

Wow, it actually is **** off a shovel!!!

Blackstar · 31 Jan 2008 at 17:35

That is cute, girly car.

If its anything like the Suzuki swift sport, I imagine it to be quite a bit of a laugh to drive. that had bit less power and about same weight. not too fast to get you into trouble but quick enough to have fun

Based on the previous 182 floorplan/chassis I think in some ways so should handle well at least

Mad old tory · 31 Jan 2008 at 19:38

Think that looks pretty good actually. Would probably go for a panda 100hp over it though.

Some of the guys on Renaultsport/Cliosport forums got to go over to France to look at the pre-release model 6months or so ago.

Apparantly a few changes made for the better, but they say all the pics are from the best angles and don't show off some of the odd bits. They said something about the fuel filler cap being weird/out of place..
