RS Monaco Clio surprise (Renault Clio R.S.16)

[Gaz_]

Id be all over that with a manual box​

 

[mossyv6]

I'm liking this

 

[Joe#]

I've heard rumours that it'll use the 275's engine and running gear, how true that is I'm not sure.

 

[Knuckles]

There we go!

Larger albeit stuck on arches.

New wheels

Mad spoiler

What look like recaros and lower suspension

f**k off the s**t black badge and renaultsport flag things in the front blade and jobs a good un.

That's what the 200t trophy should've been.



....I do hate how manufacturers are starting to badman up cars themselves now. Stop putting black things on the cars!

Is this a planned road car?

 

[Joe#]

Is this a planned road car?

Apparently so, a limited run. Wouldn't be surprised if they called it a Trophy R.

Ooh, can't wait.

And Sigh. At lease this one will have reason to be called a trophy.

Calling it a gordini and only offering it in racing blue would be epic.

They'll all be bought by gays that'll park them in a garage to 'add to their collection' and never use them properly.

That'll 100% be 30k plus.

 

[Fletcher]

Looks good. All the 220 trophy owners moaning, Renault always do this!

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Just had a look at the pictures, that looks bloody good!

Are these interlagos?

Wide arches ftw!

If this does get 250bhp, won't it be biting at the heels of the Meg 275?

I wonder if this gets a suspension upgrade to go with the rest of the work.

 

[Starlet_gt]

I bloody love that!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Is it still going to be an automatic?

 

[Fletcher]

Manual IIRC.

 

[ForceIndia]

If that's a Manuel, I want

 

[TimR26]

Looks good, shame they didn't do something like this when the new Clio was first released.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

If that's a Manuel, I want

Its French mate, not Spanish

Looks really good though! That's made my want for a 200T even stronger

 

[withoutabix]

Seems like they've produced two cars

One with black spoiler which appears to have no brembos and possibly the standard seats from the 220T Trophy

And this yellow spoilered car which does have brembos (mk3 Megane style) and some sort of Recaros possibly from the Megane Trophy-R.
Also appears to have aero catches on the bonnet so maybe they have produced a one off car with Megane running gear etc.

 

[Knuckles]

The more I look, the more I like.

If Renault made the 200t like that from the off they'd not be getting spanked by ford and the fiesta st.

That does have turinis and the one I posted looked to have interlagos

And those seats do look like pole positions.

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Like everyone said, the Megane 225 evolved to the R26.R, the 172 to the 182 Trophy and so on and so forth, so it bodes well for this IMO.

I'am genuinely excited by this, just praying they can pull it off, looks ace! really does.

Now that is interesting!

The 275 is going to be the old model soon though!

Makes sense.

Are we expecting a megane 300 next?

It would make sense, to put it in line with the current/next gen 300'ish BHP Hot Hatches. Exciting times.

It doesn't feel like a Renault project for me. It's like someone has built it.

I like it though, it could be a proper limited edition racer. LY is always immense.

Considering the 'current' 300bhp hatches, I wonder if Renault will add a bit more since its releasing the Meg after the golf r and civic type r have been out a while.

Is 350 too much? For it to be nibbling at the frs/a45?

 

[Martin_172]

Makes sence since the megane is about to stop production.

I'm all over it if it's 275bhp, with a diff and manual box!!!

 

[Stefan.]

Does look miles better than the 1.2 lookalike thats called a 'renaultsport'

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

230-240hp from the 1.6 unit is more likely isn't it?

 

[Martin_172]

the picture definitely shows an f4rt

 

[ColinG]

I think it looks ACE! I want one!!

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Meg engined apparently. 275bhp.

 

[-speedfreak-]

I want this!!

Might be selling my SG 200 when it comes out

 

[ben81]

They needed something to make up for the 200t!

 

[Feirny]

Definitely interested.
