CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news

Not a fan of the engine noise through speakers though.

The sound is physically piped through the engine bulkhead into the cabin, it's called a symposer. The diaphragm in the bulkhead is tunable (if you have the means to create a custom diaphragm and the knowledge to tune it). Many cars do this now, don't knock it until you've tried it. The Focus 1.6T (180PS) sounds pretty damn good.

Edit: Just realised you were referring to the silly app. I missed that part, it's a big press release!

It's growing on me. Non RS look decent in the showrooms

Mine was ordered with pretty much everything and was sub-18k.

I think they were £17k new, plus options for the non-Cup. Not 100% though.

Yea thought was about that.

If never pay £22k (if that's what it is).

I know it's not really comparable but think of the nearly new cars you could get with £22,000.

If they can shift those for around 19k they'll sell shitloads.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779

I'm going for £22k.

They were £18,135 with nothing added.

 

[The Boosh!]

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779

It won't be anywhere near 22k...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779

No blue, why an increase of an inch on the wheels to 18" for the cup chassis? No cambelt is a good selling point though. I can't wait to test drive one.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779

I'm impressed with the equipment.

£135 road tax? I'll have a used one in two years possibly!

does this work like it does the the Ferrari? where it will shift down matching the revs to slow the car under heavy breaking such as going into low gear tight corner on a track? (thinking Hangar Hairpin or Bank Complex at Bedford)

Yes

Sounds like the car can drive itself. Nothing wrong with technology, but i am sure a drivers car should let you drive it, and not the other way rounds. Now all you have to do to get into a corner fast is hammer the brakes, and press the downshift and the car does it all for you. If you get out of shape the stability systems sort the car out. You cant mess up the gear shifts because the car does it for you. If you over brake, the car sorts it out.

I like the idea of hearing the engine in the cabin. My car has something similar, it's called less sound deadening.

In race mode everything is switched off. Driver only.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779

I didn't realise how heavy the 200s were!

 

[DrR]

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779

Only 36kg lighter than a 200? I though they said 100kg lighter?

pretty sure they said the new clio was "up to" 100kg lighter than the mk3

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779

36kg's is fairly substantial tbh, also, turbo car's generally tend to make consistent power don't they?

So assuming it does have 180 WHP it's not going to be slow by any stretch.

Not old enough to get one through work

How old you you have to be?

25, so not long.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779

Why so few colours?

So they can make 15,000 special editions no doubt.

 

[dare!]

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779

pretty sure they said the new clio was "up to" 100kg lighter than the mk3

The new Clio 200T is exactly the same weight as the outgoing 200 Cup – 1204Kg

 

[DrR]

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779

The new Clio 200T is exactly the same weight as the outgoing 200 Cup – 1204Kg

they said mk4 clio, not specifically the RS ones.

so it might be the 1.2 lt thats 100kg lighter.

 

[mantis946]

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779

Jesus that thing looks a million times more complicated then the F4R !

The new Mk4 RS200T is 1204Kg. The Mk3 RS200 Cup was 1204Kg

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779

That's good then, so if they do a cup, it will be lighter than the cup at the moment.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779

But they're not, as has been quoted. Just the cup chassis, with no weight-saving.

I wouldn't hold your breath mate.

The 182 'Cup' was 20kg's lighter than a normal 182.
